Those north cascades rangers don't know squat!  :)

If you need someone to help you take down a bear, just give me a call next time.  :)  :chuckle:

Yeah it's always a good thing to post on the internet that you wounded an animal and didn't recover it! Usually the best thing to do :tup:

If I was a betting man, I would put a thick stack of bills on the fact that Saylean WASN'T taking a jab at you.
He's shown nothing but class in what I've seen of him on this site.

I had a small 50lb or so bear come out to the rivers edge and have a look at me while steelhead fishing last monday. pretty cool sight to see in early February.

To the OP, that is a pig of a bear!
