Post by: Hornseeker on November 07, 2008, 06:01:21 AM: :chuckle: well.. I am not the bravest guy on the block.. its just that I have spent almost 30 years now in close proximity to them hunting with the hounds and black bears just dont get me too worried... now Grizzlies make me nervous... just ask Bone... :dunno: Grizzly Tracks around that hole..... :bdid:

I've crawled into caves like that with dogs and bears and 41 mags and had lots of goofy chit go down...with my buddy standing over me withe Browning..I just wasn't worried about it...mainly was worried we'd "have" to kill a bear...which isn't what we wanted to do... but also couldn't stand not trying to get a pic! Just so you know..I wasn't in the cave to take a pic...just barely at the entrance, then reached my arm in as far as I could and snapped a flash pic! :chuckle:
