Time for some hot chicks and fish?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

If you both spent as much time in the field as you do in front of the computer flaming other bros in the sporting community,
Another delusion, you're far from being one of the "bros" here. They are not all that picky, but they do have standards.

I've fired warning shots twice on non-charging, "on- alert" or curious bears. Had no effect on them at all. Perhaps spraying gravel in their face would, but sound had no effect on them at all.
I have since decided that my "warning shot" is going to do some physical damage if charged by a bear. I've been in a few confrontations, but no "charges".
I've found the sound of a human voice has been the most effective deterant. I've never carried pepper spray, but usually do carry a firearm, tho not always.
I've read spray is more effective as a deterant than hot lead, and maybe it is - I've no experience either way after 44 years dinging around Alaska. We've got a pact going - if they won't try to put big ugly holes in me, I'll return the favor, and so far it's worked.
I have brown bears, often with cubs, by and through my yard in Sterling on a regular basis - like at least once a week, and often more often during salmon runs especially (the river is a quarter mile away, and they like to sleep up on my wooded hilltop, away from all those noisy, dangerous fishermen....). They get on my deck and leave foot prints in the frost in the pick-up bed, and drive the dogs nuts...
Bearanoia is way-overblown.
Oh yeah- you can't carry pepper spray on a commercial flight in your baggage or on your person - but you can bring a firearm firearm as baggage..
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

So I was out tooling around and came across this rock chuck. At least you know how to access Nat Geo archives...and cut & paste. LOL... awww Sally. I appreciate the compliment on my photo skills. But even Nat Geo wouldn't post a picture that poor. To many lighting issues, the rule of 3rds is just amiss. Not to mention slightly out of focus. But I had other things to monitor aside from the mentioned photographic issues. See there's more to the picture. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/wyowhisper/gameanimals/websize/IMG_0003.jpg) I asked all three and they assured me they wouldn't charge me nor bluff charge. Seems they were on a mission to find some porridge. Seems some chick took a few spoon fulls of theirs and they were still a tad hungry.

I really like that last pic of the pair walking on snow.
Agreed on photo quality of our bears. My shots were blurry, due to hand held camera in low light (not due to the shakes freom bearnoia.) Great word, by the way, Las! I will borrow it.

Kinda funny to me when a guy reads on the internet what others have written on a topic, asks questions of what others would do in the situation, then has the audacity to call out folks with actual real experience about how their plan os flawed when it doesn't match his mall ninja plan.
Like a wide man once said : you can bullchit the fans but not the players.
Feel free to dream up any macho plan you want dude but as for me I will take my advice from the actual players and disregard the dreams of the fans

Cut & paste away and tell your campfire tales of imaginary conquests...like the Buwana here who said he has been charged 12 TIMES and stopped 7 with pepper and 5 with lead...lol...WoW, pretty amazing "stats" coming form the SAME "types" who say bear "charges" are sooooooooo rare...and easily avoided by a seasoned Buwana like himself, by making ones presence known and avoiding "spots" where Yogi hangs...

Why do these campfire Buwanna-B's in MT, carry a rifle if when charged they will fumble with a can of old spice? And what "happened" to..."rare" and common sense "avoidance"...ALL that "experienced hunter wisdom" they claim that makes a bear charge so rare? One guy claimed he was charged 12 times.

Talk about fantasy guessing someone doesnt understand the range of griz......someone from Alaska is the end all of knowledge(i do trust what las says but as always its a sample of one and just his experience not the end all of knowledge).....but the guys in Montana and Wyoming that also live around the things are full of chit and their experiences arent real....couple of the guys the have posted from Montana have been in the field a hell of alot more than some Alaskans on this forum.....might wanna watch who you get your info from.... the couch potato bwana on this thread is you dumb arse.... you really are a [bleep] idiot.....

See part of your problem is reading and reading comprehension. See below.
Not all were full on charges. Some were situations where the bear needed to leave.
Forced into situations where I needed to do some things to get the bears attention or redirect his agenda. I used what I thought would escalate his attitude enough to stop bluffing/charging/or leave.
Now avoiding spots where yogi hangs is darn near perfected by yourself and I've yet to encounter one in a living room. Even less likely to be on a couch. However, I did have neighbor have one tear apart his garage. See Yogi often hangs where your intended quarry hangs or at least you must traverse through the areas to get to your preferred areas of your intended quarry. You having never encountered yogi kinda says, well...much. I'll rest my case. Stand by my original suggestion that bear spray needs to be utilized when applicable. However, there's much to that. Now where did I put that nat geo book..I'm not done scanning pics.

and that's all you two could find wrong with this thread?  When I see a misspelled word I zero in on it at the risk of the rest of the thread or topic.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
