I rolled down the window, mother ****ered him up, yelled, waived my arms, honked the horn...nothing. This went on for about five minutes and about the time I was going to "help him off the road" he took a big dump and slowly walked off into the ditch. Useless bastards.

This is why I love Chiefsplanet. I'm constantly learning something here.

Note to self: don't **** with Bison.

I love spending a lot of time in back country, but there is no way in hell I could hang up there all year. The winter would seem endless. It would drive me crazy. They would likely find me in the spring walking around aimlessly, talking to rocks.

I have to visit Montana.

You should bring along a camera just for these epic encounters. You could start an awesome thread. "Adventures of Bwana in Montana with the Fauna."

Hey Bwana, I saw pictures of the Cabela's store that went in up there. I thought the design was pretty lackluster compared to the other stores. It is supposed to be one of the "next generation" stores I think.

Sorry dude. It did look like they had some nice taxidermy in there though.

I wonder if beasts can smell salmon eggs from far off?

You should pick up a book called the "Indian Creek Chronicles" by Pete Fromm. One of the best books I have ever read.

Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Book Award," Indian Creek Chronicles" is Pete Fromm's account of seven winter months spent alone in a tent in Idaho guarding salmon eggs and coming face to face with the blunt realities of life as a contemporary mountain man. A gripping story of adventure and a modern-day Walden, this contemporary classic established Fromm as one of the West's premier voices

Mr. Bwana, is this entirely your own writing? ;)

It depends on "the beast." I was watching a show last night on Discovery about grizzly bears and they were saying their sense of smell is 100 times greater than that of a human.

No sir, but everyone I have turned on to this book has loved it.

It does sound like an interesting read.

Might have to check it out when I get a chance.

It's probably hard to resist pissing in a geyser. Kinda like writing your name in the snow.

Not that I condone the practice, of course.
