Nasty Story

[stwoody]

Truly Sad Story.......don't think that family will be out in the wild anytime soon.

This bear was probably a government transplant problem bear from one of the multitude parks here in the Northwest......they did it for many years up in No Cal, problem bears from Yosemite. Problem was the tagged these bears and found most of them were winding up dead within a year. Lots of local ranchers still have cattle permits for the Alps, Russian, Cascades, and Marbles. All of these Cattlermen carry guns, and if a bear gets close, it lights out.

As an avid backpacker in the high country its a good thing for me. I have a Wolf that loves to chase bear and is pretty effective, still over the years have encountered several who wouldn't go away. So I got up and left.

Too many Timothy Treadwells out there, and we know how that ended up. I carry Pepper bear Spray as my biggest fear is coming between Momma and Cubs, however, my luck the wind would be blowing in my face and it would just be a condiment for the bear.

When I hike with buddies, we have a saying, "Only have to be faster than the slowest"

OR.....as Edward Abbey would've said, "Lucky Bastard.......got ate by a bear"

agent, what the hell are you talking about. I would bet $400 right now that I could put 20 out of 25 shots on a 2' by 2' target shooting and you would't hit it 7 times !!! :nono: I shoot that gun monthly, my life depends on it every day!

 

[fatdaddycool]

Uh, cause I didn't say that every person would land 11/14 and that every person would be shaking. I said HE would land that many and be shaking, and you come in running your jibs about how good a shot you are, and you would stare this bear down and blah blah blah.

:142smilie

I have no doubt you are just a stunning and very cool guy.

:mj07:

Dude,
This thing is quickly deteriorating into to the equivalent of pouring salt on a snail. The first post I made on this subject was actually very clear and concise and there was no name calling other than to ask you if there was anything you don't think you know. After that came the whole "coolguy" crap and all the other stupid shit that you generally post on a regular basis. I didn't run my "jibs" about anything. I reacted to the incredibly naive statement you made, after that you are on your own Skip. Your assessment of me is quite incredible though I might add. Don't know how you knew that I was stunning and cool but you did. Are you Autistic as well as....................well....................you know...................as well as ...................you know.................being slow?

I wish I was as cool as fatdaddycool :spotting: most of us just like to get on here and have a little fun but obviosly some people take it way too serious :nono: :SIB :shrug:

Wow!!!!!!!

You really NAILED that one huh?

You are correct..........I take this stuff really serious and I will tell you what mister.....................everyone wishes they were as cool as me, but there is only one Fat Cool One. So don't let it get you down.

So do you do crime scene investigation? Profiling?

The reason I ask is because your insight was right on as far as me taking things way too serious. Your investigative technique is really quite impressive. Tell me, Lew, does Sheriff ever let you hold the keys?

I don't take anything seriously Lewehands, especially Agent.
Of course I'm not the one throwing out $400 bets about everything either. Don't worry, I won't hurt your lifelong pal. Thanks for jumping in on his behalf though, beating up on him has become pale.

I did not mean you when I said fan. I wouldn't call anyone that to their face unless I was ready to fight or keep them from killing themselves. I was in position to do neither at the time. Now worries Lew, wasn't dogging ya too bad. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, hell I am sorry if I hurt Agents feelings... Not trying to make anyone cry just letting him know that he makes some ridiculous statements in my own subtle way.

:iagree: I thought he was a brother but he turned on me when the pressure got to him :com:

No worries Lewehands.
Sorry that you got in the middle. I don't know Agent personally and do give him a good deal of grief but it doesn't seem to help so some times it gets boring. He tries a bit too hard sometimes, in my opinion. :shrug:

Ex-Marine Kills Bear With Log

HELEN, Ga. (AP) -- A camping trip to Low Gap Camp Grounds turned into a harrowing experience for Chris Everhart and his three sons when they tangled with a 300-pound black bear.

But the encounter last weekend proved fatal for the bear.

The bear had taken the Everharts' cooler and was heading back to the woods when 6-year-old Logan hurled a shovel at it.

Fearing what might happen next, the Norcross father and ex-Marine grabbed the closest thing he could find - a log.

"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Chris Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."

The man was given a ticket for failing to secure his camp site, said Ken Riddleberger, a region supervisor for game management with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

Riddleberger said some U.S. Forest Service agents were at the camp issuing a citation in an unrelated case. They got to the scene in a few minutes and verified what happened, he said.

Riddleberger said fines are usually set by counties, but Everhart's will be set by the federal government since the incident happened on federal property.

"We've not had an attack in Georgia," he said. "The key thing to learn from this is if there's a bear around, do not have your garbage or food available. If we manage our food, we won't have bears around."

I'm never going camping again.

Mrs. Bear better brush up on her secretarial skills.
