Bear attacks are up in Alaska where the bears are protected.
They have learned to associate gun shots with a free lunch. Having lost there fear of guns and humans.
Gun shot. Bingo. In comes Mr. Grizzley or Mr. Black bear to take the game away from Mr. Hunter. Hey no problema Mr. Griz. All that bear would be seeing is my ass heading in the other direction. See yah.
I'll be back for the antlers when your done eatin.
Bottom line is they got to pop a few of the damn things then hang them where there buddies can see them.
These damn black bears are in my damn yard 3 times a week. I hit one in the noodle with a full bottle of bud and the damn thing laughed at me. Laughed.

4th, the defeat of the initiative is a good thing. It was a tree-hugger bill that would have made it illegal for private citizens to shoot predators.

Think I am getting senile. I read this damn stuff and don't understand all the damn legal mumbo jumbo.
I go to the town meetings and just raise my hand when everyone else does.

Don't think it's senility, the way the story was reported was retarded, I had to read it twice and put on my thinking cap.

I agree, I wasn't sure what was voted for, and which side was which, tell I reread it.
And 4th we are getting senile(at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it).
