Bear in the Kitchen

[dabigmoose]

:eek:
  My uncle called me and said he had shot a Black
Bear in his kitchen.The bear came in through the kitchen Window
breaking the glass and making all kinds of rackett .uncle got up
out of bed about 1.00 am startled and grab a 357 mag he didnt know what he was going to encounter boy was he surprised.He said as soon as he turned on the light the bear stood up and started clacking its teeth
so frank quickly shut the kitchen door then opened it enough to peer inside he was wide awake now and he yelled at the Bear trying to get it to leave back out the window but it charged at the door hitting the door and slamming it closed knocking frank backwards so uncle frank shot through the door 4 times  and heard the bear start bawling tearing things up and then it got quite so frank decided to get his husky 3006 before he peeked through the peep holes he shot in the door.He saw a blood trail leading up the counter and out the window the bear had came in.He then called a couple of the cousins to come over and help look for the bear they followed the blood trail down to river and found the old bear curled up by one of the boats that had been hauled out for the winter they put a few more rounds in him to make sure.Frank said the bear was very thin and had badly decade teeth probably weighed about 250 and looked to be starving this is the second bear uncle Frank has killed in his house.Uncle frank 74 years old  is a  Tribal chief in a village population about 60 year around residents 200 miles from fairbanks.Old frank said this
living in the Bush aint easy with neighbors like that .He said he felt bad about having to shoot the old bear but that Bear and me are lucky my wife wasnt home or my kitchen would be full of holes like the other time.

What a story.  Around here the wife gets excited if a possumm manages to get in the house. Then the Jack Russell dog takes care of it.  Thats wild to have a bear come in the window.  markc

We've got a mouse in the garage.  Think Uncle Frank could come down and help? :-D

Send some of that snow up to Anchorage.  It was almost above freezing today up here.

Hi Matt
 I think he would use a little over kill if he saw your
post about the airforce  he would be wanting that spectre gunship to get the mouse.

I thank you for the service your doing for us your country.
I to think we should get it done know for our children will not have to.
Hope ya get that Caribou not long before your hunt now.

I'm sure some of you heard about the bear coming through the kitchen window and eating the old women in Cleveland, NM.  Her cabin is about four miles below my cabin where my 90 year old mother lived until two years ago.  It was a very dry year and the bear had been attracted by fresh plums the old lady left on the kitchen table.  When I warned my mother about the bear she said it had been to our cabin many times raiding the garbage sacks.  When I asked her what she did, she replied, "I did anything that a sane person would, I ran it off with a broom."  True story.

I have to say at my camp in Vermont at night you just never know what will comeby my trailer isn't that bear proof/safe but always keep my 44mag closeby at night when we are sleeping. Your Uncle Frank is a smart/brave man to grab the handgun first its like we automatically kick in a defense mode when something wakes us up at night.  What if he panicked like some would?? Great story thanks for sharing that with us.
