I once mistook a really big porcupine on an open slope at a distance for a griz thru the spotting scope. Fortunately, we were hunting caribou or black bear....
Griz/brown bear and I have a deal. If they don't try to put big ugly holes in me, I won't to them either. Worked for 40 plus years, so far....
Including the neighborhood ones, who have left tracks on my sidewalk, in the flower beds, on the deck, in the bed of the truck, down the driveway....
I miss my dog. I have no idea what's going on out there anymore!
