1 The Journals of Luis & Clark tell of the some of the company being keen to hunt a Grizzly (known only 2nd hand) but on encountering the animal "became discouraged and lost all interest".

2 Yeah, 1500 pounds of teeth, claws and bad attitude will do that.

9 I saw a film of a guy hunting Griz with a bow. The camera was behind him when he got a perfect heart shot from about 25 yards. He froze !
So would we.

10 The way I heard it, the Indian's last words to Liver-Eating Johnston went something like this: "What am I? Chopped liver?"

11 I took a Griz once, used a spork from KFC, skinned the beast with a pull-tab from an old Schlitz beer can. Ahhhh. Those were the days.

13 I hear ya Charley, but that Schlitz killed more of my family than that tricky step in the backdoor of my trailerhouse.

BTW yawls got any extra? Steps I mean, cement bags, or cross-ties? Climbing up a empty keg is tricky for the hounds.

14 I once had a girlfriend who killed a wild boar with a Bowie knife. She lives in Utah now.

15 Many years ago while white water rafting at Glacier Park the tour guide asks all of us about wild animals we had seen in Glacier, told about a few he had seen then asked why everybody was on the trip.
One NINE YEAR OLD GIRL said this trip was her first to a civilized area and a reward for KILLING HER FIRST KODIAK BEAR!

Needless to say everybody including the tour guide quit telling stories!
