Friend Ingwe,

I'm glad that you said that the lion is one critter that really SCARES you. I totally felt the same ... I mean, I would not hesitate to kill the huge cat most sincerely dead, but the huge bugger was just plain scary.

Grizzly? Yep, I had one boil out of a pool in Snake River up in the Yukon. It was a really big sow and she had two 2/3-grown cubs with her.

She boiled out of the pool and stood upright and made tooth-grinding noises. Damn, did I walk backwards out of that one.

That bruin got my attention just like the lion.

On my one and only leopard hunt, my PH carried an FN-FAL to the blind. He did not have to use it, Thank the Good Lord.

Any guy who isn't scared by big carnivores with teeth and claws has no brains.

Here's a photo that is identical to the griz:
