bears..

Here are some pics of me and Yogi moose hunting..yes moose hunting.. no moose, but we were surrounded by 4 bears at one time... close enough to make us nervous...not scared enough to run...well of course running would be stupid...not like we could go anywhere...at one point we were back to back. Yogi's getting ready to arrow a bear coming up hill from us. I'm facing up hill with a 44 magnum and 12 guage shotgun making sure 3 other bears above us aren't gonna mis behave and decide to snack on us... finally he shoots arrows the bear at 6 yards away!!! that's close...a little too close!! closer than I'd like to be next to any bear really....1st pics a little tough to see but if you stare real hard above yogi's hat you can see a sow looking at us thinking, "hmmm...snack or no snack? i'm running low on bear snacks..." needless to say we had adventure we'll never forget and boy was that bear meat good!!!! best meat I've ever had...period.

I'll try and find some pics of that bear that was walking on our deck...we never got the camera out in time.. but no joke that bear was 2 feet away from wendy!!! on the other side of the window...yup mom and wendy we're playing a board game and then this bear came up and walked on our deck just behind them!! it was pretty wild...literally. ha!

course just last week some lady over in town was bit in the rear end by a grizzly bear and her cub....lady got bit and the bear ran off....not sure what made the bear run away after biting her butt...but i'm sure whatever it was that scared her off the lady was glad... I would try and research what exactly in the ladies rear scared the bear, harness that power and sell it on the market as a bear repellant...up here in Alaska, we need bear repellant and that lady is sitting on a million bucks!!! no pun intended...

anyhow...next up, me shooting a bird with a bow...maybe??

Let me just say, that is way too cool! You're A LOT braver than I am. BTW, what did you do with the head and fur?

Jon falls asleep everynight by the fire naked, but wrapped in the bears fur.
