Mike and a couple of his bears. Mike making Margret happy.  Chicks, even more dangerous than bears. How many of you would get in a bunny suit? Mike is a brave brave man.

I wonder why these bears are both so happy. Maybe because Mike shot at them and missed unlike the other two pictured above.

Jeeezzz look at the claws on that first bear. Wouldn't want him hugging me... I am in Georgia and we have some bears here as of late but in 1969 when I was 11 years old someone hit one with their car and they had it displayed at our local "ice house" which was a small bait and tackle store. Folks came from miles around to see it. We were living in town at the time and when my father got home from work we all piled in the car and went to see it. At 11 years old it looked like a monster. Funny how you remember stuff like that.

When I hear Mike is going on another bear hunt I send him this cartoon and tell him to be careful. You can never be to careful.

It's not just the bears...
  

How do we know that humanity isn't just a race of tame primates, domesticated by dogs to serve their purposes?

Mike and another bear. Looks like he used some sort of big double gun.

The shoulder mounted "Missouri" of double rifles... Would love to know the caliber.

Mike says the double rifle is a Cogswell and Harrison double rifle in .375 express 2.5.

I can play in this show-and-tell.

How about this bear?

And, ooops!  Another double rifle appearing on a single shot discussion board.  My bad.
