little bit of excitement

[Lloyd Smale]

friend just sent me this. A friend of our is a black bear guide. they took 16 bear this year and used a guide gun he picked up at the beginning of season as his back up gun and said he had to put down 12 of the sixteen shot with it. Got a little close to one that still had some spunk left in it. Those are teeth marks in his stock!!!! said another one had a hold of his dog and he tripped trying to get to the dog and fell right by the bear and had to shoot it up the tail pipe. Same guy has about a one foot long scar up his leg from dealing with a wounded boar! hes alot of fun!!!

Sounds like a man in need of a new hobby.

What was the line about old climbers and bold climbers?

I've always advised getting as close as possible before taking a shot, but I think the target should be in front of the barrel, not chewing on the hind end of the rifle!

I've always maintained that the best defense against a bear attack is a companion that runs slower than me !

Sounds like my kind of friend! He's up there having all sorts of fun, and adventures, and I'm stuck down here working for a living. Tell him if he's looking for a side kick, I'd love to crawl up in a mess like that with him!

When I was younger (pre-family/kids), I used to get all kinds of hair raising adventure. Now I'm missing it quite a bit. I guess creeping up on middle age is giving me an urge to live wild again?

Lloyd, your friend sounds like he has a lot of sand. I'll bet even money, he'd never consider another line of work?
