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.

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 :beer:
