Oldirty, then you will be glad to hear this. I killed a deer with a bow and took a bite of the heart after I gutted it. I was always going to lick the blood off the arrow, but decided on the heart bight. I save all my hearts, if they are in one piece, for my neighbors, they cook them and have us over. I had 12 last year, but did not recover all of the hearts. It's pretty good stuff, cooked that is.

if you a buckfifty dan i bet you would look like a jockey on that thing. riding hard through the land with your cup and xgames lid.

did you know that call it moose "browsing" when they come through your bushes and trees tearing it up. so far ive seen quite a few stands of alder all torn up from that.

one homeowner, a lady, called them thugs. she wasnt too happy about the 4 crabapples they tore up.

but for a big ass animal they dont drop a very impressive duece.

heres some of the views

Your awesome od, that moose will have bigger paddles
before winter. To see the griz follow the creeks they have more to eat
in the lowlands in summer so ya should be ok. I would rent a canoe and
float, especially if Chinook are starting to run you will see plenty bears then!
Take along counter assault though be safe and enjoy you are in Gods country for sure my man!

About that "How not to cut down a tree" video on Youtube, that was awesome. Guy really got his A$$ handed to him by the butt. Looks like he went down on top his ladder and then the butt fell on him. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I got some work on a farm, i can't remember where, I was about 16 of 17 without much riding experience and these farmers put me on this horse and smacked its ass. There was no saddle and they told me she was nice, she wasn't. I did hold on to this old girl as she tore through the feilds and headed for home. I thought "home? that's the place with the low hanging beam acroos the door" as her shod hoofs started to give way on the asphualt lot just before this door. Just as she lowered her head to clear the beam I pushed off the back of her smooth smelly ass and landed like a ninja. To tell the truth I was just pretended to be mad.
I spray dried blood routinely around my plants and trees, except around the apples so I don't have so ,many to clean up. We have some really fat groundhogs( which I make my wife call beaver) and I just love to watch them. My kid calls them hoggraws.
For a minute I was that moose crossing the street up there in Alaska singing I'm a moose and thats OK, sleep all night and walk the streets all day.

I told you I saw it. It was the one with the foriegners pulling a palm with a little white truck. It wasn't good, that guy got hurt.
I saw this one where this kung fu guy wants to try to catch a falling pole at least 3 feet in dia and very tall. He is standing there all ready when the pole comes down and drives him into nothing. He was gone!

I take that back I just saw it, there is a lot of how not to's. What I find amazing is he kept bouncing at the end( joke, not quite that dumb) but it looked like he got up and started to walk it off. maybe he just got lucky.
If you want to see some people really getting F'ed up try bangedup.com. Sure to be a winner.

It is grizzly repellent and should be readily available there. It is a
pepperspray that fogs a thirty yard blast that has found to be more
effective than large calibers in a griz charge! It will blind him temporary,
and burn his nostrils causing him to want no more of you. I would
definately have some if I ventured off the beaten path, which I can
guaranty, I would. It would be good to carry it and a loaded weapon
in the back country of Alaska. Also a gps or compass and grid
map would find useful!

OD - If you head into grizzy land, be sure to take a friend. One of the wildlife officers in AK once told me that you don't have to outrun the bear... just your partner!

Fine then I go with you and you run which is a no no as;
it triggers cat and mouse response, I freze he chases you all good!
It is considered an honor to face a bear and a good death in many
tribal customs. I have stared black bears down and lived. You really
have little time to chicken out and high tail it and they are as fast
as a horse, so what is the point. Stand your ground look as big as you
can and make him wander they can't risk injury and will normally
mosey off, if not get ready fire the counter assault play dead if
it goes bad with griz! With black bear fight with all you got playing
dead will get you ate!

Or 5 rounds of the 30/30. But i would wait to see what happened before I started working the lever.
Kinda of like when you are looking in someone's yard at a job and the mutt comes a charging. you just want to counter, wrestle in up, reach in its mouth and pull its toungue.

ive heard this little dittie about bears back east. "if its black fight back, if its brown lay down" on your face and then cover your neck with your arms.

but what ive been hearing about the black bears up here is that they are pretty aggressive and that they are the jerks around here. i mean give the grizzle his space for sure but its the black bears that are unpredictable.

so i guess its the bear spray when i go walking.

seriously, wtf, just grab that grisly by the balls and sqeeeze real hard, F it, lol. that'll slow em down.

i think that would piss them off a bit more than slow em down. lol plus if you grab and miss your right into a bear hug, with teeth.

True! true!, but old dirty is right about the blk bears being unpredictable the 600lb blk bear I got in british columbia was eating another 150lb blk bear when I shot it. No rules just instinct they have.
