Why did the media have to point out it was a black bear. Why did that matter, why the need to make this another racial thing?

I swear that happened on an episode of C.S.I.

Stick it to the man!

I almost had him!

dammit

Harrison,

You're right. I saw that episode too. Waiting for the first Andrew Sullivan joke in 3, 2, 1, . . .

Sheesh. What an idiot. When you shoot a bear, the generally accepted procedure is to smack it from 40 yards away with a few potatoes from your spud cannon before approaching.

Humor is the hole by which the truth whistles!

Bears are tricky.

*Raawhr!* went the bear to the woodsman.

And the woodsman was afraid, for the bear was much bigger and had sharp teeth and claws.

"Please don't eat me. My children need their father." And then with a flash, the woodsman thought of a deal, one the scary bear was sure to accept.

"If you spare me-" but the woodsman was interrupted by a blow from the mighty bear's paw, knocking him down, breaking his once proud neck.

The bear dragged the Woodsman's body home to his cave and ate him over the course of three days and nights.

Later, the bear went to the stream where he ate several fish fattening himself up for his long winter's nap.

In the spring, the man in the city received word from the judge that the Woodsman was now offically dead. He mailed the check to the Woodsman's family.

Returning to his apartment that night, he wondered aloud "I wonder if there's anything good on TV tonight?'

Hey Chet,

Is there a locked door between the outside world and your ward on the psychiatric wing of the VA Hospital?

Just curious.

I don't know anything about bear hunting, but I know the same rule applies to shark fishing. Those suckers have some bite left in them long after you think they're dead. I've seen bite injuries while people were posing on the dock with their sharks.

Should used this gun:

See, proof it's needed. Coulda saved some grief.

.44 cal? Weak.

Did he have a picnic basket?

Gotta love those bear-bites-man stories.

If you're going to eat it that fast, you don't have to cook it, it's still warm.

The .444 Marlin is certainly enough gun for a bear, but then, if the idiot can't aim it, the Barrett .50 BMG wouldn't much matter either.

I wish I had that bear. Cut the meat into 2-in. squares, wrap 'em in bacon, and cook 'em on the grill.

Tasty.

Dammit, Skinbad. I showed up to the post this morning, and I was just about to make a Sully reference, and as usual, I'm waaay too late.

Early bird catches the worm, I guess.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

We're here!
We're queer!
We don't want any more bears!

Dumdum’s friends asked him to come to Canada with them and hunt bear. Dumdum said ok so he bought a 30-30 deer rifle and went to Canada with them.

They set him up in a tree stand, scattered bear bait around the tree and told him '' when the bear comes, shoot him dead then take your knife cut him open and skin him.''

So later comes a bear. Dumdum shoots the bear and the bear falls down. Dumdum climbs down the tree and pulls out his knife. The bear jumps up knocks the knife away, pounds Dumdum down to the ground and claws his clothes to bloody shreds. Then the bear gets right up in his face and says ''I can either eat you alive or have sex, what's it gonna be?''

Well the very next year Dumdum's friends come over and ask him to come to Canada to hunt bear. Dumdum says ''Last year a bear almost killed me, why would I do that again?'' So his friends told him that a 30-30 wasn't powerful enough for bear and he should get a bigger gun. So Dumdum gets himself a 44 magnum carbine and goes to Canada.

I heard of a few years ago when some animal rights wussie was protesting a buffalo hunt just outside YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK was mualed by ashe bear when he got between the she bear and her two cubs it was later found out that this wussie was a deadbeat dad. I guess the she bear knew a deadbeat dad when she saw one
