Yeah.

See that brown i put a picture of on the first page?

I thought those were brown bears for the longest time.

I think your right dave.

I used to think they were totally grizzlies around here and I remember on here a much more knowledgable fella broke it down for me.

I dont think they are totally the same, you can see a structural difference in the head and the ones ive seen are def. Bigger then the blacks.

Never seen one aggresive though.

 

My neighbor says we should all throw in some $$$$ and hire a hunter to kill all the bears in the area cause they "may" cause problems some day.

Wow Lew! Thats crazy talk.

Is there something back there they like to forage on? Or just taking a break while passing through?

I went down today and that badger is gone moosebunk.

Maybe she didnt like my dog either??? Lol

I have no idea what there living habits are like but thats a nice den. Surprised she left it. Or maybe they were just off roaming???

Is there something in the water in the Artic watershed for G's sakes? I would rather deal with the Bloods or Crips or a couple of wiseguys in the club than a Bear .Charged by a Bear? What kind of dinner conversation is that? "Oh honey a funny thing happened to me on the way home, I got between Mama Bear and Baby Bears and she charged at me." How exactly does one get between Bear and her Cubs? I'm afraid to ask.

That was a gnarly experience. I was shore fishing with my kids.

Behind us was a hill and in front some tall grass.

I seen the bear early but it was a good 150 yards away or so. I just told the kids to keep an eye on it. Never did nothing for like an hour so i wasnt too worried.

Then the kids told me shes moving. So i sent them home on a route around the rapids and told them to tell mom to call 911 and get down there in the vehicle right away. I didnt have a cell phone back then lol.

Just as the kids left the bear came at me full tilt. Covered that 159 in no time flat. I had nothing but tackle lol and outta instinct i grabbed a fillet knife haha.

She stopped about 10ft away, stood up and pounded the ground. She did this for a few minutes then turned and walked into the long grass. Maybe it was seconds im not sure? But it sure felt long lol.

Took like 3 hours for my heart rate to return to normal hahahaha

But outta hundreds of encounters thats the only scary one

Twas a joke.

His intent was clear?

Yeah blacks are purdy stable

Im not too sure about those browns yet lol

None at my local dealership?

Bummer

Same big girl plus a healthy black.

Meh, bears arent out to kill ya.

Frig in ear falls I could almost pet them(thats kinda pushing it lol)

Ive been charged once but totally my fault, i got between the momma and her cubs(without knowing at the time)

Live in NW ontario and bears are just normal appearances.

Thats a healthy bear lew

Here ya go OI, just sayin hello lol

Nice!

I like when they show up too( even though the neighbours go nuts)

But yes be careful?

Whoa im going to buy one now

Wow Chad great property!

Feel bad for the pup, ouch!

No mosquitos up my way till two nights ago then boom!!! Friggen crazy amounts.

Take your b vitamins. Its not a cure all but it does work. Also keeps away spruce beetles etc too

Ya I wouldn't know the difference. Shoulda' got a photo.

Lol

Me too!

F this im eating musky from now on

I used to be a milk addict lol. Every meal needed milk.

Ive quit that years ago. I prefered homo

I cannot imagine 7% at all lol.

How thick is that? Must be a milkshake lol

No way to tell other then his word

But if im keeping any fish, its gonna be kept cold and alive as long as possible.this fish looked like it had seen better days.

It doesnt take long for a fish to turn to mush. And parading the fish in +25 temps doesnt help matters.

But if he ate it good enough. Like i said, its legal. I just dont agree with it

you just had to make me look

I am going to have nightmares over that

Hahahahhahaha

Check your messages

boiled then cooled down lol. That's what they do back home

Lol sorry i cant help

We dont drink milk

Boiled milk?

Drink some water

We just got 7 days of rain. Im thinking awesome!

Then i wake up and its snowing and everything is froze.

2 days later its in the 20's

Friggen weather

All the mint plants made it though?

"What can you do?" Say "No thank you" if he asks you over for fish diner.

 

No issues with someone keeping whatever for sustenance but that would be just about last on my list.

But if you seen the pic, it looks like its been outta the water for hours. So I dont really believe he ate it.

But thats his call i guess and not mine.

Wicked fish though. Gotta be pushing 53"
