Yeah, pretty soon there won't be enough breed to eat!

and if there are so many bears killed there wont be enough to bread.

hey there say, ekat...

as to your quote

A big problem with bird seed is squirrels stockpiling it in the walls of cabins - then the hungry bears come along, smell it and tear the walls off the cabins to get it. . . happened all the time at Tamarack. Scared the living daylights out of the poor guests staying in the particular cabin being ripped apart...

(left out the last tad of it, accidently, ooops)

wow, say, i had never thought about that... makes sense, though...

bears work by smell... and cabins sure could pass for oddly shaped trees, stacked together, ;)

thanks for the share...
squirrels here, too, try to raid any and every kind of bird feeder they can get their little selves aboard.... :))

Isn't it possible to hang bird feeders high enough off of stout branches that they are bear proof?

sure you wanna climb that high every time you have to fill it?

sounds like a job for a guy who has solo FA's of desert big walls under his belt....or use a little bit of rope tricks..:)

Hey stinkeye, hatehunters words will be ignored - as they should be.
Dude has 2 post to his name - he's prolly you! Troll Troll Troll...

On a side note I was very saddened this weekend to pick up 20-40 shells left in the woods and find a lot of hunter trash (arrow fletchings, shells, camo poncho cardboard wrapper, etc). IF you're gonna hunt or shoot - clean your sh#t up!!!!! WTF???????

How's beer battered breaded braised bear breast?

They have yet to breed a bear that will bare its breast to be breaded, beer battered and braised.

I already told Cragman that he is a ST legend, and that some things have a life of their own and giving them 4 in the head and 1 in the ass just makes them live longer.

There will always be a few to try to bother him.

He just needs to learn to bear it.

Never let the dead animal go to waste.

Imagine the avalanche of positive comments if Crag had had his hibachi cooking next to the dead bear in the picture?

When i first read about Cragman blasting the bear i thought it was a bit excessive..Rock salt works pretty well on bears but i'm guessing Crag Man had the gun loaded for human intruders..? Cragman has a pretty nice house which he built himself with hard labor and hard earned cash..So having a marauding bear trying to destroy Crag Mans labor and material seems to merit 4 in the head and one in da ass...Just my opinion though..RJ
