Default Madison Clave warning

This afternoon I talked to a senior Forest Service ranger who used to be
a wildlife biologist in Montana. He said the Hegben Lake area is rife
with grizzlies. I'm bringing my bear spray and a large caliber sidearm.
Stay clear, or at least upwind. :-)

Cool! This makes fishing exciting!

That is the attitude I like! If you're lucky you'll see a grizzly. If
you're unlucky, it will be in the campground. :-)

Just to make sure! If I participate next year. It is not easy to
get that heavy handgun here in Finland. And if I carry it with
me when flying to states, I will be classified as terrorist?

Is it posssible to get such from your side just for that clave plus
have some kind if shooting training before the clave? .44 or even heavier?

I'd advise against transporting a handgun (heavy or otherwise) from
Finland to the US. The same goes for boxcutters and even Bic pens. :-)

If you want to shoot some weapons in Montana, I'm sure you can find some
arrangements. I don't know the details, but Warren can help you out.

To tell the truth, if I'm riding into backcountry thick with grizzlies,
the .357 magnum I'd carry would just mess him or (more likely) her up
for revenge after I'm dead. Your best weapon is avoidance, but avoidance
doesn't mean you shouldn't come to the Clave.

Practice tree climbing and always go out with someone you can outrun.

Like Wolfgang. Worked for me. (hey Wolfie, you draw him off and I'll
scream like a girl whilst sitting in my truck)

Osmo,

We can even get 'em for you fully automatic...the better for fat moving
bears.

Any city in the U.S.of A. will be more than happy to arm you to the
teeth.....Why, we've got so many guns, we just go around looking for wars.

If you're really unlucky, he'll see you and you won't see him. Is it
true they like Roffian Wraps (Dacron-down wrap with a creamy center)?
