yup sometimes they are tough !

One week until Black Bears Black flies and scotch.

Try not to inhale too many of those flies when you are pouring the scotch down your throat!

Getting on a plane tonight to head to Canada. Going to far northern Manitoba for the second year in a row. I've been dreaming about teeth and claws for 2 weeks straight now. Have the .444 Marlin and the bug headnet all packed up. Good luck to everyone.

Did you know Africa was home to bears once upon a time?
The Atlas bear was Africa's only native bear. Once inhabiting the Atlas Mountains and neighboring areas, from Morocco to Libya, the animal is now thought to be extinct. The Atlas bear was brownish black in color. The fur on the underparts was reddish orange. The fur was 4 inches (100-30 mm) long. The muzzle and claws were shorter than those of the Canadian / American black bear, though it was stouter and thicker in body. An adult ranged from about nine to ten feet long and estimated maximum weigh up to 1,000 pounds.

The Atlas bear (Ursus arctos crowtheri) was a subspecie of the European brown bear. Same as the grizzly or Alaskan brown bear.

well tommorow I'll be in Canada. They wanted 1100USD to fly so I drove and the sun never got over the yardarm as I had to drive to day.

good to see you are on the way, suppose thats the difference with cars and boats no big bits sticking out of the top, maybe use the aerial for the yardarm if you have a big one, but only after you have parked up of course have a great time on your hunt and have a toast to all of us when you get your bear

Good luck on the hunt...hope that monster walks by!

Finnaly at bear camp and the sun is way over the yard arm!

Blues and Jazz bars are the devils advocate

Like Dylan says, "Everybody must get stoned!"

micro what? my beautiful stunning wife put on a charity ball for teenage cancer trust, and raised just over
$50,000.00, in your money tonight for her. unfortunately bart one of the big sponsors came back to our house and said he could out drink me now after a pint of very nice vintage port(not cheap by the way)down in one...i know not the thing to do, but when goaded you might as well enjoy!! he got girls to helphim out, inc my wife!! so Bart for all of us on AH i upped it to a quarter bottle shot of grey goose vodka down in one.... me one time of course but he took about 4 or 5 while looking for help!! so Bart i took your out look and , well i could have repelled boarders..., but i took the philosophical outlook, and thought let them remove him from me so i may retain my you know what licence, and he retained all his passages that run down from his chin ! i hate being politically correct.. so have a great hunt. and the sun has been over the yar arm at least 2 times today!!! i am sure this doesnt make sense.

Hope you will have a great time BARTFRNCS and that the great grandfather of all bears offers you a shot

Here is my Bear Its a 350lbs pretty good for a spring Bear just out of hibernation.
