[jryoung]

That's what I figured, hopefully we can lay the wood to them on our long weekend.

 

[theat]

Drahthaar's already found seven bears on Google Earth. Fact.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Wouldn't have believed you if you hadn't included "fact". Drahthaar's the man! Lot of south slopes starting to get bare around here. I think we'll be able to find some green grass

 

[drahthaar]

You guys kill me!

The city park, and practice football fields are greening up a little.

If Drahthaar gets on Google Earth he'll see a bear there. Fact.

How do we plan on keeping our camping area 'bear proof'? This is all new to me, so I'm not sure what we need to do.

Here is what the forest service has to say about it. Pay particular attention to the highlighted sentence at the end


KEEP YOUR CAMP CLEAN - Odors attract bears! Store your food and garbage properly at all times. Keep your tent and sleeping bag free of all food smells. Store the clothes you wore while cooking or eating with your food. Burn all grease off grills and camp stoves. Wipe table and cleanup eating area thoroughly.
STORE YOUR FOOD SAFELY - Store all your food, coolers, and the clothes worn while you were eating in your car trunk or suspended from a tree - at least 10 feet off the ground and 4 feet out from the tree trunk. Don't underestimate the ingenuity of a bear!
DISPOSE OF GARBAGE PROPERLY- Put it in bear-proof garbage cans where available or secure it with your food and then pack it out. Don't burn or bury garbage. Bears will dig it up.
SLEEP WELL AWAY FROM FOOD AREAS - Move some distance away from your cooking area or food storage site. (if you have children, do not to let them bring food in the tent with them)
STORE ANY TOILETRIES SAFELY - Store them with your food. Like other scents, the smell of toiletries may attract bears. Abstain from sexual activity. Practice good personal hygiene.

Eat, Drink and be merry for tomorrow we may be mauled...

And no squeeling like a pig... leave that for the southern banjo boys...

^^^Four reasons I believe Cush is gonna get mauled on this trip. The only thing that could make it more certain is if it said "No consumption of alcohol".

 

[JohnCushman]

Does that include sex with myself?

 

[LCH]

Well, if bear sightings are down we'll know who to hunt downwind of..

 

[jryoung]

Another safety tip is to not eat special mushrooms and "hide" your food in the foot of your sleeping bag.

[BigHornRam]

Don't be scaring the boys off with all this grizzly, tick, and snow up to the crotch talk.........at least until they buy their non-resident tags.

Another tip for you gals is to try to avoid being on the rag while your out here. Bears really like that.

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

The entertainment level on this hunt alone is going to be worth the price of gas and tags. I am just going to wait in camp for Yogi to come and try and steal John's picinick basket.

 

[JohnCushman]

As long as he doesn't steal my beer it's all good
