The head shots left divots in the skull but didn't penetrate.

Next season we had a brownie come into our logging camp (single wide mobile homes on skids) on Admiralty Island. Tore the door off the cook shack, then the door on a locked chest freezer, ate a bunch, drooled on the rest, broke all the windows and walked out through a wall. Going out to work the next day was a little unsettling. Camp manager shot him the next evening when he came back. Buried him with a D8.

I took a job at the mill in Haines the next season

Wow. Incredible experiences.

Hollow tips? I can't imagine steel not making that kill with a .44

And that is the slippery slope to man on bison sex in Yellowstone National Park.

Grizzlies have a two inch thick skull plate. I have read of many instances of bullets not penetrating. Which is why bear spray is supposedly a more effective defense.

[QUOTE=Benny Profane;4747146]An elk this time. Love the badass way he stands there and stares everyone down after the charge. Too bad you can't see the impact.

Freakin morons

Good, Montana doesn't want you visiting anyways.

Fucking Rubys Inn. Got an awesome bed deal for two nights, but breakfast "buffet" (jezuz, all the fat people want buffets) was 10.95, with incredibly bad service, and, on top of that, they charged me 2.95 for a coffee. All the crappy bacon I could eat, but 3 buck coffee.

If Yosemite is three times as bad as Zion today, as I've been told, I think I may never see the place. The national parks are drowning in enthusiasm. Awesome day, though. What a beautiful place.

If you were able to drive your own car into the park and not take the shuttle bus, you haven't seen busy

Entered from the east. Dramatic difference between the two entrances. Leaving was a shock.

Look at it this way, you want those large breakfast buffets. They'll attract more tourists thereby keeping them out of your way in the park. Between that and the inevitable tourist buffalo kill, you'll be enjoying a noticeably less crowded park between the hours of 7-10am.

Fucking Chinese spilling out of busses to selfie and shout at each other.

No dim sum at Rubys.

The hike up and down Angels Landing is fun when it's crowded. The hike down the Virgin was very uncrowded until we got near the bottom--didn't see anyone for most of 2 days. Only 12 parties a day allowed in I think.

When the sea lions get pissed, it's a sign were in trouble. Next is the attack of the Bambis.

I so want to see the animals win. Too bad there wasn’t another bison lurking that would have come up from behind that guy and sent him flying.

Now that there is one person fully dedicated to being an asshole. You can bet a shiny nickel this ain’t his first rodeo. Hes been practicing his act, refining his craft and eagerly awaiting 15 minutes of national infamy.....

His mother must be quite proud of him.

Apparently, Beast hasn’t read the Bullfighting Forum. His bison card is hereby: REVOKED!

most likely just a drunk mess with no plan. his court records for intoxication, shoplifting and more go back to the 80s.

Yep. That there is the training to which I was referring. It takes a lot of work over a long period of time to gain that level of notoriety for your stupidity.
