I think we lose like 5 min each day.

Dallas, my Dad used to tell a hilarious story about a polar bear getting in the construction yard where he worked. He got a front end loader and was trying to herd the bear out of the yard. Apparently the bear was huge and he had other ideas. He climbed into the bucket and was coming over it for my Dad. In a state of panic my Dad raised the bucket. Now the bear was the one who was scared. He dumped him over the fence into a snow drift.

I asked my Dad what he did after that. He said, "waited for someone to bring some hot water to unfreeze me from the tractor seat after I pissed myself."

:laugh2:

:laugh2: Hilarious. This lil dude has been harassing my neighbors for a couple of weeks. He keep detroying the trash on trash day. My father came over last week and he was under one of my big pine trees hiding. He used his truck to shoo him away down the street. About that time the little kids down the street came out and it was my dad jumping out of the truck running to head the bear off from the kids and the bear going ape-**** because he didnt know where to go. My pops finally got him off the road and back into the bog area from which he came.

He had a similar thing happen when I made him leave tonight. He took off back to the bog right next door and the bike/runner trail is there and I could here "BEAR...BEAR...WATCH out there's a BEAR." for like 10 minutes from the joggers. It was hilarious. He is just a lil dude and wont hurt anyone. It's just funny how freaked out people get. Now mind you this bear is right in the middle of Anchorage. How he got he was one heck of a journey. He had to cross like 4 major major roads to access the trail system.

It does bother me because now my lil guy can't play outside. I probably should call F&G. I dunno.

I have actually never seen a bear in the wild. However, one time at Camp Lawton on Mt. Lemmon I was there with my Boy Scout Troop. I was the Scoutmaster.

One night someone yelled "bear!" and apparently there was one in the Camp kitchen. I grabbed my flashlight and took off running to help and as I was running up there (in the dark) it dawned on me. I might be running to the bear who is running away from the racket people were making banging pans together.

I casually called off my assistance and wandered back to my tent and prayed the bear ran the other way.

We had a well that had a bad pump and would blow out the circuit breaker...the problem was that the circuit breaker was inside a building we were using for a chicken coop....One day the circuit breaker cut out my dad told me grab the flashlight and go turn the circuit breaker back on I went out there and I should have been aware that the chickens were making a bunch of noise...but I didn't pay any mind and wondered to myself how the door got opened I go inside and just a little under eye level I see 2 eyes and than those eyes went up & up & up I shine the light a little higher and see that huge bear must have been 8 ft tall... I know that you shouldn't run but I couldn't help it just like in the cartoons my lower portion twisted and ran and was back in the house before my upper part of my body moved...

we moved the circuit breaker the next weekend and built us a better door to the chicken coop

Awesome.

I was up at a buddies cabin about 5 years ago and was awoke early in the morning by someone coming into the room and saying there was a bear out front.

Went out there and watched the bear walk around the front of the cabin for a while as my buddy filmed it.

Watched the footage the next day but couldn't see a thing because my friend had forgot to remove the lens cap.

Still pretty cool but would have been nice to get the vid.

And just my guess......that bear was looking for pic-a-nick baskets.

Hey Dallas,

Great Pick! We get Bear around our Mountain House every once in awhile. Couple years ago, I planted plum trees in the yard and sure enough, a Bear dug them all up. Last year, at our house down in the city, we actually had a Bear come into the E.R. at the trama center just around the corner. Scared the hell out of the receptionist. :laugh2:

Anyway, they are a lot more common then you might guess around here but that is a great pick. Nice to see you are none the worse for wear.

LOL

It was frighten and it was dark and I was all of about 15 but I was in great shape and though I know that Bear would have or could have caught me when it realized I took off... that 100 ft or so from the Chicken Coop to the house I took about 10 steps to reach the house.

We had a little Mountain Lion incident here in Rapid City a while back. A guy found one under his deck. Turns out it attacked and ate his cat. I bet it scared the heck out of him.
