Stupid Guest Tricks out West

And you can always enhance your armaments by adding a Bic lighter. :twisted:

LOL hobie. There goes his home. The Baker will not be happy with you for giving him ideas. He already has too much free time.

That's why I'd lock the beer in the car

Don't darph! Don't do this.You'd probably misplace your SUV keys.

My brother lives in Colorado and relayed this advice to me. It seems appropriate:

Due to the frequency of human-bear encounters, the B C Fish and
Wildlife Branch is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and any persons
that use the out of doors in a recreational or work related function to
take extra precautions while in the field.

We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as
to give advance warning to any bears that might be close by so you don’t
take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of doors to carry “Pepper Spray”
with him in case of an encounter with a bear.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh bear activity, and
be able to tell the difference between black bear feces and grizzly bear
feces. Black bear feces is smaller and contains lots of berries and
squirel fur. Grizzly Bear shit has bells in it and smells like pepper.

Love it!

I know you've all heard that when encountering a bear, you should play dead, and hopefully the bear will lose interest and wander off. What you may not know is that the same technique often works when you meet a lawyer. :D:

I remember at my firearms instructor basic course, a USFWS firearms instructor was saying that he gave temporary employees instruction on how to use a 12 guage shotgun. The employees are flown out to remote areas for a week or two and do wildlife counts etc. They give them "cracker" shot which makes a lot of noise but is harmeless. I asked if they game they some slug or shot shells, and he said that they wanted to scare the bears away from the camps, not make them mad by shooting them!

He also told the story of the "bear repellant"

They issue a "bear repellant" pepper spray. the canister looks like a very small fire extuingusher, and can shoot a "cone" of repellant about 20 to 25 feet. the repellant also has a red/orange dye in it to identify the bear later.

He tells the story that they dropped off a temp employee (most were graduate students studying enviromental areas etc.) and as he took off, he saw the guy running tlke crazy around the camp site they they had just set up, and it looked like the front of him was covered in red. Thinking that it was blood and something was very wrong, he circled and landed back at the site.

it seems the "student" thought the label "bear repellant" meant that he was to wear it, and he doused himself with it to keep the bears away.

hehehehehhehe

TOO FUNNY! :p:

My SIL has had us spray Pine-Sol all around our tents and vehicles to keep away the bears. It seemed to work well, so I'll have to see if it works on Lawyers too! :D:

everybody sing:

If you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic!
