Different sort of problem while hunting

I dont know but I heard they taste just like Buffalo.

I'll assume by "they" you mean bears?

I've eaten both, and they're not the same. Bear meat is stringy, with more fat. Buffalo is tighter grained, has almost no fat, and would be my choice between the two.

Bear's not bad, but I really like buffalo meat.

I think I'd worry more if I were camping out. I sure wouldn't be sleeping anywhere near where I'd had any sort of campfire or lights...

I agree, Art. It takes an hour or so to get over there from where I live, and another hour back, but I think it's time well spent. I love to camp, but not under the present conditions.

Thanks,

Nope I didnt mean the bears

Well, then I wouldn't know. You might ask the bears...?

Some of the illegals don't make it. Bodies are found regularly of those that die of health issues and/or exposure, and many are badly decomposed. It's very likely that not all are found. Those that die in bear country...

Just sayin'...

Bear season in the area I want to hunt starts next Friday (Oct 1st), so I've been thinking on this some. Leaving the .40 behind isn't an option this time. I'd feel sort of naked out there without it, the current conditions being what they are.

I do take a "call bag" with me on calling stands though, and the .45 Colt fits nicely into the bag, even though it adds a bit of weight. Calling stands are generally made within a short distance of the vehicle (within 1/2 mile or so). Wouldn't be all that hard to carry the extra weight on short treks, and the only time I might need the handgun would be on a calling stand.

I'll give it a try, anyway.

I guess in a way it's little like hunting in grizzly country. I spent the last ten days in the Bob Marshall wilderness up above the Flathead on Cox Creek. Sow grizzly bear with cub tracks all over the place. Twenty miles by horse to the closest phone if you get hurt.

After a friend of mine had a hunter with him mauled pretty good I have them on my mind and keep an eye out for a good tree. Hunting partner had a grizzzly boar about 60 yards away, but he was not noticed or at least the bear didn't indicate that he did.

I have to say I wish they were not in there as thick as they are with no hunting pressure to intimidate them for several years, and the sow bears not teaching their young to fear men.

But, I hunt in there anyway. Just keep on your toes.
 
Just a shame this has to even be discussed :(.

Even more of a shame alot of people didn't/don't back a governor effectively trying to stop the cartels from taking over our land like they've brutally done their own. :barf:

I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you're right. It's sorta similar in a way. I've spent time in grizzly country too, and you just have to watch what you're about.

Agreed, and I support Jan Brewer 100%. In fact, a large majority here in Arizona support her. She's one of the best governors we've had, IMO.

On a separate note, I heard today that Mrs. Krentz (wife of the man killed by illegals on his ranch in SE Arizona last March) was hit by a DUI while crossing a street in Douglas on Sunday. Report is that she'll likely be ok, and I'm sure glad to hear it.

That family has had somoe serious troubles this year.
