So if I tak a .44 can I use my foodbag as a pillow? Pretty soon we won't need to worry about the bears we will have shot them all.
or at least thin them out like they need to be. deer too
Maybe better to thin out the hikers. Arm the bears.Originally Posted by L. Wolf
Seriously, every few years it probably would be a good idea to have a hunting season in various NP's. The deer I saw in SNP looked pathetically thin.
In April you may have to worry less about bears and more about people piling into the park after a few months of cabin fever.
Either way, the .44 may be your trick!
Bears in SNP
Eons ago a black bear went around the tent my father and I were in in SNP. 'Course we were set up feet from the trail which the bears use at night as a road and left the dinner pots outside the tent near the door. I woke my father up and he said "I told you you should have washed the dishes" and he went back to sleep.
The bear moved on and we were unmolested.
I follow the rules about siting the tent off the trail and keep a clean camp now.
My brother said my father knew he didn't have to outrun the bear, just me.
