I stand stunned at the silence following this news. ;D Short version? A great trip with the old man, many trout caught, pretty scenery viewed, good food eaten (Basically for free as Mt. has no sales tax. If you like great food, screw NY, go to Livingston.). On the amusing front, I was nearly eaten by a bear (twice), a badger once, and lost a sweet job to a Griz as three dumb asses (or at least one dumbass who caused collateral damage) failed to police their campsite. This caused the offer of a camp ground host at Slough Creek, one of the premire trout streams in the US to be rescinded. Seriously, I was looking at a four hour day within rock throwing distance of one of the best trout streamds out there. It was deemed "too dangerous" by the Ranger. I'll give you "too dangerous". I propose a 4 day DRTV camp out and bacon fry. The bear will last 5 minutes. ;D Se la vie. ::) Details to follow.
FQ13 who really wants the Ruger Alaskan in .454 and wonders if suggesting to the Ranger that the bear problem could be solved in about 48 hours by hanging a dead deer in a meadow with a 400 yard line of sight, hardening the F%^K up, and just shooting the SOB without filling out the paper work , was an unwise interview strategy? I obviously have spent too much time studying the Tombogan school of diplomacy, but honestly, how hard is it to kill a bear if you know where it lives? Get off my obstacle Pyle! ;D
Was the bear named Hugo , or Mahmoud ? ;D
Give us details and Pics to drool over and hate you for, then while we are posting compliments on your great trip you can get caught up on p!ssing every one off in the Politics thread . ;D
The vacation is O- V- E- R . ;D
Welcome back FQ ;D
Welcome back...
Someone was killed outside Jellystone this week by a Griz....and a few others injured. I did think of you and your dad when it was first reported.
Thats mean. Not even I would go that far.

Welcome Back, FQ :D :D
Sounds like a great trip. Just have to make plans for another trip to that trout stream.
While I am not a phan of Huked on Foniks, I do feel the emphasis on correct spelling is over rated.Bad Spellers of the World Untie!!
Andrew Jackson, who's wife used to tutor him in the Oval office, said "it's a d**ned small mind that can only find one way to spell a word", was the originator of the phrase "OK". It means All Correct ;D
Report on Fox news about 4 people being mauled by a Grizz today in YellowstoneIt was three people. One dead and two FUBARed. It was also the bear that cost me my job. It was all "When can you start"? Then the freaking bear, and it was "I don't feel good about hiring you unless you haver a hard sided camper". Look lady, I may be living out of an 8 person tent (a North Face Mountain Mansion, two rooms and tall enough to stand up in with a cot and chair), but I also have a Maverick Special Purpose which will give me 9 rounds of 12 gauge slugs. Game over, bear loses. While I feel bad about the casulties, what part of "Bears are present, don't get piss drunk and pass out before cleaning up dinner" dicd you fail to understand?
If one is camping out there, it's like being at sea. Someone is sober and on watch, with a never going out camp fire, and lots of big firepower.
Must stink to tote the battery.
Thats funny... ;D
