I haven't thought about that movie for well over a decade. Just reading about how they plan on euthanizing the bear if it has a history of attacking humans just reminded me about this film. :Roflmao

No harm, no foul.

Your comment reminded me of the silverback gorilla that was speared by poachers and left for dead in a park in Africa recently, so pardon me for not ROFL.
 
Saw a "baby" swimming at the bottom an Inyo Crater a couple of years ago. Got out, shook off like a dog and proceeded up the side of the crater pretty rapidly considering the grade. Somehow it seemed larger the closer it came (never said I was the sharpest tool in the shed), and when it was about 25 yards away, I headed back to the car. Seems like a good decision.

Update to the Bear story... A mama bear and her cub were trapped, but the DNA did not match DNA taken from the human victim. The plan was to release them into the ANF, but the cub died from complications with the tranquilizer...

Imagine waking up high in the ANF with no cub... :thumbsdown:

Maybe that's the mama bear and cub that Ross saw a few weeks.

My niece lives in Tahoe, they had a bear break in while they were out for a few hours(this was a few yrs ago). The Bear destroyed the kitchen and the back door from what I can remember. Good thing they weren’t home with the kiddos!

My daughter and friends were camping at Kern somewhere. They were in their tents sleeping, woke up to snorting, heavy breathing, and burping<<I added that. A Big bear couldn't care less about them, and dumped the ice chest and drank "all" the beers. It would bite a hole and knock it back. Her boyfriend was in tears, nowhere to buy beers. Then it just walked off.

If they do have to euthanize it, they should do it with spears.

My mind zeroed in on this movie when reading the article. :facepalm:

I like this. Gather 3 inmates [at a time] locked up for violent and white collar crimes, arm them with sporks and microphones, and release them in the yard with the bear. Record it for pay-per-view with the proceeds going toward moving residences along the urban/open space interface to the inner city.

Today we salute you, Mr. Sandals over Socks wearer!
Only you can rock the sandals over the socks without rocking the boat.
Pre-ride kick-offs, during-ride shred fests, or post-ride tacos...you show up with your toes snuggly cradled and hidden from view.
(It makes me special!)
So crack open a can of worms and grab your toenail clippers, oh hider of the foot fungus, because only you can give Herzie a migraine with your fashion choices, and Mr. Bomb better up his game if he wants to keep up.

Can you imagine if every conversation with the Triple D, resembles this...?

Me: "Hey Chicken Nugget! Check out that guy with the modified department store bike!"

Nuggets: "Here's to that guy... Mr. Department Store modified bike guy...
Only he can rail reversed forks from a bad build by a pimple faced day one employee"

Me: "Breast meat, I get it... you dig the Bud light commercials, yeah they were great."

Nuggets: "Real men of geniusssss..."

Me: "Uh, yeah, okay..."

Nuggets: "Reversed brakes, bad brakes, or no brakes at all, you don't care cuzz you ride the Floop and the hospital is just around the corner!"
"Somebody stop me!!"
"60 pounds of crank snapping pot metal and recycled Budweiser cans, you are grooving on that car spring rear suspension"
"Off a 57 Chevy!"

Me: :gotnothing: "I get it secret sauce..."

Nuggets: So crack open your skull as you superman over that super ride in your sandals over the socks. You are going places in style... most likely with lights and sirens.

I know of at least one IMTBer who has a pair... And I'm pretty sure he wore them to go down Joplin.

Implied discord insinuated by your right hand on your face. Which leads me to the conclusion that you are either a real man of Geniussssss or your left hand is preoccupied while you surf the web.
 
Years ago I was on an overcrowded house boat on Shasta, aka The Shasta Disasta. My first night I pitched a tent on the beach. There was a bear in the inlet about 1/4 mile away. I took my little girl and went rowing to it. It was on the bathtub ring sniffing a hole. It would grab boulders the size of a 27 inch Tv and toss them between its legs. This was raw wild power. We rowed back, got in trouble for going towards the bear and spent the night on the beach. I have camped forever and never worried about a bear creating a new entrance to my tent. Wild bears are not fond of humans so I was alright. Park bears.....not so much.
Funny side story. I am asleep in the middle of the night I hear a speed boat running fast. Night speed is 5 knots max. It get louder and BAM the yahoo ran right into the beach 100 feet from my tent. Never seen that before

What’s a bath tub ring?
Ever worry about bears, just worry about getting my food out of reach or get in between momma and her cubs. :thumbsup:
