Doc, this creep sounds like the guy who sneakd around the neighborhood looking in windows and trying to get pictures of "something nasty" going on. Fuggem. He ain't worth the powder to blow him to hell.

Stuff gets tense and you do what you gotta do. Rather get shot myself than feel a cat scatter my guts in 5 directions. Not an altogether unique assessment so far as I can determine and as a case in point:
1970, just east of the A Shau Valley a Marine recon team in hard contact called for air support. We arrived and he popped a smoke, lots of small arms fire in the background when he talked on the radio..he says "Shoot my smoke". The Cobras did that.
We picked him up about 20 minutes later. He was the sole survivor of a 6 man team and there were dinks stacked up around their hilltop perimeter like cord wood. Piece of shrapnel had deflected off the radio and nicked his pecker, adding insult to a couple of bullet holes elsewhere. Lad was smilin' though all the blood however...
You do what you have to do, maybe you get the bear, maybe he gets you. Life doesn't come with guarantees...
Amen.

Craig Boddington is My favorite writer and I don't hold any ill will toward Brittany for her unfortunate accident, I'm glad the man will make a full recovery, it could have been much worse. I wonder if Craig is still with Brittany's mom or has he a new wife? I heard somewhere that he was a divorcee................Hillbilly.

When I said Mom, I should have said step-mom. Craig has been married to Donna, for several years now, I do believe.

I've taught both my sons and my wife that when the need arises, pull the freaking trigger. Hesitation will usually result in more harm to the innocents. JMHO.
Good job, Brittany. Thank goodness you didn't wait for a lawyer to get there to tell you the best thing to do.

I think that whomever this troll happens to be that his intent was just to sling mud at Craig-trying to see if anything would stick.
Though I have never met Boddington I must have half a dozen of his books; he is one of my favorite gunwriters and I wish he was here at the 'Fire.

Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

Well said. One of my best friends was in the same camp just after the accident. He is the quite type & not prone to getting involved in situations involving other people. His comments were that hunting leopard with dogs is very dangerous & controversial. Most countries have banned this type of hunting. He contended that if the leopard brakes bay someone can easily be attacked. Apparently, this is one of the reasons why this type of hunt is so controversial. Certainly, not the only reason. Its easy to be critical when you weren't part of the hunt.

I see no fault in this scenario whatsoever based on reading the links despite many in our culture who will probably try to find it, although I thought this happened some time ago. It's surprising to me that these incidents don't occur more often when hunting dangerous dangerous game.
Heck, ask Dick Chaneys quail hunting partner.

I told a pard whilst going in after a wounded bear "If he attacks don't think I better not shoot I might hit Scott, just shoot. I'd rather be shot then mauled to death. Dead is dead and I'd rather go out with some shooting going on"
Sad situation but it is what it is. I am with you 100% on this Scott, MUCH rather be shot than et alive!

Yea, that was quite a story Sitka on two counts: your honesty about what we all experience and feel on occasion and the sad end to that young man. The thought "suicide by bear" comes to mind with his dogged and aggressive, and mostly blind pursuit of that bear.
