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. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Skinny guy with grey curly hair in his underwear doing the masochism tango with a 6 foot, 350 lb flatulent ursine as the high-pitched scream of insane brood X cicadas wafts in the background (yeah, cicadas, thats what made that noise). Did I tell you that the bear also got my Viagra? -- Frank Reid Reverse Email to reply |

OsmoJ Only very young grizzlies can climb. However, there are also black bears (smaller, but generally do more harm) and they can climb. Legend has it that if you climb a tree to get away from a bear, the black bear will climb after and get you, the grizz will look the situation over and knock down the tree and get you. Probably a bit more likely than the run faster legend. In either case, if someone starts running, they can trigger the chase reflex. Since both kinds of bears can outrun any human, well... So if I'm with you and we spot a bear and you run, I'm going to stand still and look like a tree until the bear is dining happily and then I'll sneak off a different way and report the sordid story. On the other hand, I've read about a guy who climbed a tree to get away from a black. It kept trying to drag him down by the foot and he kept kicking it in the nose. Eventually it got tired of that fun, hung around a while to see if he'd come down and then took off. He then climbed down and limped off for some medical help. I have never heard of a grizz knocking down a tree to get at a potential victim. Not saying one couldn't give a relatively small tree a good shaking, though, and if it's a solo event, how would we know what exactly went wrong? -- rbc:vixen,Minnow Goddess,Willow Watcher,and all that sort of thing.
