A grizzly is just an extra-large mosquito...

I heard about this from Park rangers when I was in Alaska last week. Lots of bear activity this year. I saw about 10 of them in a short time.

What the heck kind of Husky cowers behind a grandma? More like a Yorki.

UPDATE! ABC News Ace Investigative Report Brian Ross has uncovered that there are several members of the ‘Alaskan Tea Party’ with he name of Bear. Let’s all hope he stays on this story!

Jones-Robinson went out and bought a gun Friday

Notice the Batman T-shirt. And she is a red head. The most dangerous place in the world is between a mother and it's child, nieces are 2nd most dangerous.

“What the heck kind of Husky cowers behind a grandma? More like a Yorki.”

“The dog, meanwhile, tried to attack the bear each time it charged, adding to the chaos.”

Not real clear how the dog behaved.

Hiking in grizzly country without TWO large cans of bear spray on each person? No thanks.

Kudos to author Mowry for correctly writing “The two girls were troupers.” “Journalists” these days regularly confuse them with soldiers or state police officers.

Why infringe on the most time-honored of all FR traditions, commenting before reading the whole article and the existing comments.

In Alaska down here in Wasilla it has dropped a bit to around $3.89 a gallon. She is hot though, don’t care for the stud thing in the lip though. I’m partial to redheads and especially strawberry blondes.

“(Ranger) Happ advised against leaving backpacks or food behind if confronted by a bear because it habituates them to humans.”

So he’s saying that it’s better to let the bear rip you apart for the food. This guy seems more interested in the welfare of bears than he does the welfare of people.

He needs to be fired.

Speaking of that I am hoping the rain will end so I can head out and do some gold prospecting, the particular gold detector I have is very good but it isn’t waterproof.

I know the lower 49 is having a heat wave, ironically this summer here is the coldest so far, has set a record.

Might explain why all the bears are acting weird across the state. Its not just a singular case, seems to be a LOT more than normal bear encounters.
