Funny Bear Story
Blain's post on bear defense reminded me of a funny story...
I worked with this guy a few years back who worked for a bit in AK running a dozer that laid fiber optic cable way out in the bush. He tells a story about this old trapper he used to drink with who was out in the woods one day, when he came upon some green horn surveyor. The old trapper noticed that the surveyor had a 9MM auto strapped to his hip. During their conversation the 'ol boy asks the surveyor: "Son; What's the fancy little sidearm for? The young surveyor replies: "Aw you know, in case I run into any trouble with a Griz." The 'ol trapper gives him a puzzled look and then says: "Well, son, you may want to file the sights off that thing." The surveyor answers somewhat indignantly: "File the sights off? What the Hell would I want to do that for!?" "Well, says the trapper, because after you sting some big 'ol Griz with that, an he comes over and takes it away from you and shoves it up your ***, it won't hurt NEAR as much!"
I have no idea if this story is true or not, but I sure get a chuckle out of it whenever I think about it.

RE: Funny Bear Story
If someone has the complete joke on the following post it back here but I will try to get it close.
A hiker in Alaska was asking the local store about bears. The store sold him some bells that ties on his shoes and some pepper spray. The store owner also starts explaining the difference of fresh bear ****. The small black bear has small berries, nuts, acorns and that stuff. The grizzly bear has fishey smell with samll bones and maybe some fur in his. The Brown Bear has small bells and smell like pepper spray.
