| #15 Many years ago while white water rafting at Glacier Park the tour guide asks all of us about wild animals we had seen in Glacier, told about a few he had seen then asked why everybody was on the trip. One NINE YEAR OLD GIRL said this trip was her first to a civilized area and a reward for KILLING HER FIRST KODIAK BEAR! Needless to say everybody including the tour guide quit telling stories! |

| #14 I once had a girlfriend who killed a wild boar with a Bowie knife. She lives in Utah now. |

| #13 I hear ya Charley, but that Schlitz killed more of my family than that tricky step in the backdoor of my trailerhouse. BTW yawls got any extra? Steps I mean, cement bags, or cross-ties? Climbing up a empty keg is tricky for the hounds. |

| #11 I took a Griz once, used a spork from KFC, skinned the beast with a pull-tab from an old Schlitz beer can. Ahhhh. Those were the days. |

| #10 The way I heard it, the Indian's last words to Liver-Eating Johnston went something like this: "What am I? Chopped liver?" |

| #9 I saw a film of a guy hunting Griz with a bow. The camera was behind him when he got a perfect heart shot from about 25 yards. He froze ! So would we. |

| #2 Yeah, 1500 pounds of teeth, claws and bad attitude will do that. |

| #1 The Journals of Luis & Clark tell of the some of the company being keen to hunt a Grizzly (known only 2nd hand) but on encountering the animal "became discouraged and lost all interest". |
