Fatal bear attack list...

[slow]

GA DNR at the checking station for the GA bears I referenced. All bears taken in Ga are required to be weighed by a game official. They do the same with road kill bears, of which there are several every year.

Is that the same on the A.T.,for them 400lb#?....if so please tell.

Yeah, just think how I felt when I woke up the next morning to find damn bear snot and slobber all over my dang table grill that the sorry little tick mat destroyed. He bent the piss out of it. I took a mallet to it and at least now it closes. Sorry ole bear.

Dang it man got to clean my screen again!!

Good thing you didn't have it in the front seat of your truck ~ he may have broke a window out getting to it.

When I hiked the Columbine Trail a few weeks back there was a van with a broken window and a cooler pulled halfway through the window. Wasn't like that on my way up.

A bear took me out last year this time in snp tore my tent... up a few holes in my sleeping bag that i was in.... pulled for a few feet...than it was over.....the atc has my report.....

Yeah, but how much did the bear weigh?



My husband furnished me with some statistics posted on his cycling website. They're interesting. Would be even more interesting if they're true.

For every person killed by black bears

Dogs kill 60

Bees kill 180

Lighting kills 350

This supposedly came from the National Center for Health Statistics

Slow, I did not see or hear him. I was out like a light after taking a gallon of Nyquil. The next morning, I got up to make us breakfast and walah...on the ground broke with BEAR EVIDENCE on it.

Bear Solution: Hang your hammock 30 feet up and keep your food in your lap.

[BumpJumper]

That would do it.

This happened about a week ago near here not too far from the AT.

I'm glad the bear got a lick in before those guys shot it. I'm not all that keen on chasing bears up trees with dogs and shooting them as they cower in fear.

Hey slow, you're right there are no 400 lb bears anywhere on the east coast -- now give it a rest.

Wrong! A 600 pound bear was killed by black-powder hunters near Roanoke in 2006.

That actually happened outside of SNP. The Roanoke paper reported it.
