So last night I'm walking down the hill from my horse barn from just tucking my trusty steeds in for the night...it's pitch black...and I hear...
GRRRRRRRMPHRRRGRRR.
I was like...😳
Yep, MR BEAR IS BACK 🐻, and he could see me but I couldn't see him. Heaven's Sakes, didn't have my floodlight OR my Bear Spray - AND I JUST FINISHED TELLIN' MY FAM ALL WEEK WATCH OUT FOR BEARS, 'TIS THE SEASON.
Got that big CHILL up my back, too, so I know he was close.

Had my gun but that only pisses them off worse.

Yep, even Ol' Cowboy sometimes falls into that Normalcy Bias.
Just because I never been eaten by a bear, I go on thinkin' I won't be.

Good thing I didn't have a salmon dinner.
That's another Bear Story I have to tell Y'All another time. 😂🤣😂

I've been Momma-Beared with Cub suddenly, and lived to talk about it. She must have seen my Guardian Angel, cuz it sure wasn't my cologne that scared her off. I was wearin' Salmon #5 ! 🎣😂🤣😂

HAHAHAHA... It was dark outside and I was riding my bike home from the cannery down on the docks. Theres no streelights, but I knew the road and I thought it was Farmer John's Big dog BlueBoy running along side me, which was normal during daylight hrs and I was singing and laughing and sctratching his head and he licked my knee and kept running alongside of me. AND then, in the distance was headlights coming at us and I was kinda blinded and when I looked down at NOT BlueBoy, the truck started honking his horn and the reality of where my right hand was still scratching his head struck me. All I could say was, "Hi Handsome Boy". It was a still a teenage bear cub and liked my smell, cuz I just got done unloading a gillnetter filled with salmon. I pedaled faster and he turned up another driveway. I still had 1/2 mile to bike home QUICKLY.
(like I said...I think sometimes the Angelic Host play 'rock, paper, scissors" when they watch me.)

That's a GREAT BEAR STORY! 😂🤣
Nothin' like salmon perfuuuume!

Many years ago I was doing flood recovery in a town SMASHED. Bear country, and because all the homes flooded everyone's fridge & pantry was floated all over the house and Bears were having a field day. Anyways, my survival food is canned salmon - so after running my equipment all day digging homes & pullin' cars out the river, I chowed down on 2 cans of cold salmon dinner. So hungry I splashed oil all over my truck & myself, like a dope. Then I look down, nearly standin' in bearscat. So I tip-toe quietly over to the roll back dumpster, toss the cans in "clink, clink" and then I hear a "thud, thud", walk around the other side the dumpster to investigate and it's big MommaBear and her Cub! Didn't even have time to draw my pistol we were nose to nose and I woulda just pissed her off anyhow! So I got big as I could and ROARED right in her face! She turned-tail & ran!
Musta been my Guardian Angel, cuz it wasn't my breath! 😂
