does a bear shit in the woods?

nope, only in gwn's backyard ;)
Most likely a 3 to 4 year old.
But honestly I trust them the least. Big bears don't generally like being around people at all, much less a wooded neighborhood with some barky dogs. The "Teenagers" aren't smart enough to know to run yet.
We've had 3 maulings this year so far - sows with cubs, you shouldn't fuck with them.

Due to Grizzly Bear attacks the State Of California has issued a warning to hikers. Authorities are advising hikers to take precautions and are recommending that hikers carry pepper spray with them at all times. Authorities are also advising hikers to wear little bells on their shoes to prevent surprising bears.

Hikers can also raise awareness of their surroundings by being able to identify bear droppings.

Black bear droppings smells like poop and have berries in it.

The best bear defense firearm is a .22 - just pop your fishing partner in the knee & you're free & clear. :wink:

I wish I cold afford to go big game hunting...I really like killing things, or I mean the great outdoors, especially things that can kill me back, I have a soft spot for natural adrenaline.

We had a pretty good soaking rain on Saturday evening and I woke to this on Sunday morning as I was loading stuff in my truck.

He was checking to see if I left any goodies in the bed. :-?

Less than that for me. Just cleaned my Benelli an hour ago. Wish I had the money to splurge on a bunch of decoys or such. Might have to sell something...
Roast beef of the sky for sure.
You use Mojo's Dux?

Yes and no, early in the season for sure! Younger tasty bird's are quite dumb. I have become a big fan of jerk cords in a decoy spread .....
