« on: March 25, 2009, 07:13:59 PM »
Found this little test this evening and learned a little as well. I thought I would pass it along for your enjoyment too.

did you guys catch number 8 ? a radio collard tiger was found to make black bears and grizzly bears the bulk of its diet  :yike: holy crap 
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

I guessed that one right just because the very first question of how much a mature grizzly weighs(got that wrong). Tigers are huge cats, I could see that happening.

On a side note, rasbo, remind me to never ask for the shirt off your back!  I am afraid the sight I would see would scar me for the rest of my life!   :chuckle: :chuckle: :yike:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

I only missed two, the stupid tiger question and which island.  Dang it!
The island got me too.  I also got the weapon one wrong, based on pepper spray being a deterrent and NOT a weapon IMHO.  Oh well, I agree, very good test. 
Had an advantage on the tiger one, went to grad school with the researcher!  Their biggest Siberian tom was over 800lbs, he sent a front paw track cast to a mutual friend - if i recall correctly it was about 10" across from the outside edge of the outer toes - made your guts squirm just looking at it.
