No Need For A Gun For Bears.

Why carry all that extra weight if you're worried about running into an angry Black bear? Check this out and leave that pistol/rifle at home. By getting rid of the extra weight you can carry a whole bunch more important items like Snickers and Almond Joy bars.

I believe I will keep my firearm with me.

I especially liked this quote

so I says, ‘If you're going to hurt me, I’m going to hurt you too.’

How's that working out?

I carry my pistol to make sure nobody robs my Snickers Bars. Especially my almond Snickers Bars.

Meanwhile back at the den......

"So tell us again, Paw, what happened."

"Show I wusz wunning at thish guy and the next shing I know he's hanging ofv my tongue."

"He talks funny don't he, mom?"


("So tell us again, Paw, what happened." Get it? Paw? I slay myself)

Some of the punch lines around here remind me of the prizes they have inside boxes of Cracker Jacks these days.

Did you say something, Rick?

Sometimes our only friend. (deep sigh).

[Ken]

Want me to send you a Cracker Jack prize?

[Rick]

Shoot (sniff), I am a prize. Just nobody notices.

Note to self....remember the "grab tongue trick"........check......Gotcha.
NOT

[Jessthebuilder]

I'm sticking with the hand cannon. I don't poke bears with short sticks or grab their tongues. Lol

If you see a bear running throught the woods with a hong over his head, what did he just do?

[Rick]

Ran through my laundry line. No, that can't be. You have to launder clothes for that to happen. I give up. If I see a bear running through the woods with a hong over his head, what did he just do?

[Farley]

It's just how we git r dun up here!

Hong or no hong!

[Rick]

If you see me running down the trail sans hong you can be pretty danged certain something big or ugly or big and ugly is not far behind. First, I don't run so that should be a good clue. Second, I'd never leave my hong behind....get it? hong behind? I slay myself.

[crashdive123]

I'm pretty big and I'm pretty ugly. Please.....the next time we camp together there is no need to run nekkid anywhere.

[Rick]

That's good news. Walk Naked is my motto. I'd almost be a tree hugger but huggin' trees naked what with the bark and all just isn't doable for me.

Only an underecucated numskull goes without a firearm in bear country. This past summer I was walking my dog and we cane onto a black bear, backed off and left the area. Next time we were there, we ran into a sow and two cubs, and this time I had my.44 mag along, luckily the dog didn't bark, and once again we left the area, but I was prepared to defend myself if it came necessary. The deal here is preparedness, not using the ol pistolie. You just never know. Two legged critters are far worse than any black bear. I'd sure advise going prepared.

[Rick]

So the first time you ran into the black bear you were unarmed? I thought only an underedu...never mind.

[finallyME]

I always carry spray when I am in bear country.

Oooor, only people who are confident in their knowledge of bear behavior and habitat as well as other skills....

:eyeroll

Not saying that the ol' tongue grab was a smart thing to do but hey, he walked away.... You never know how you will behave in any emergency situation until you are in it. You can prepare, you can visualize, you can practice, but until you walk into a bear unexpectedly, you don't know what you will do when you walk into a bear unexpectedly.
