 |
|
| Ty and I went out hunting this A'M-I only had one shot for the muzzie but he was packing his bow. There's a real good oat crop we headed too-the bigger bucks horns just stick up above it when they are standing. We glassed a couple shooters so I snuck off after them-I got about 50 yards from them and was deciding whether to take one when I spied a 'GOOD' bear standing up in the oats looking at me. I circled him and tried to get close enough-I got probably 40 yartds from him-he'd stand up check me out then go back eating-pretty cool stalking in when You can't tell where he is. I wasn't sure I could neckshoot him-his big washtub head kind of covered things. He spooked off and Ty got right in on him too-he was using the steam off him to keep track of him. Those oats are so high it's really hard to get a good shot in.

| I am questioning your sanity, stalking a bear that you only see when he stands up???? I believe you need to spend some time in a padded cell.

| Not to mention that NR's boy had a quiver of arrows. What harm could possibly come? My wolves are back on their way through. I now know why such animals are not a concern to you NR. Maybe you could live over here a while an put some fear in those dogs. I was thinking maybe exterminate all but one. Live trap that one to put the radio collars on from dead ones, so the "friends of the wolves" can keep tracking their well being. No, they won't pass on current info of their whereabouts. Laptop, GPS, peashooter and a J-3 Cub would make short work of them if they would share the information.

| They'll be bad right now training their pups how to hunt I imagine-it's a small tax to pay to live in God's country.
