Our Other Skills – Let’s Brag A Bit

dougchips

I might be missing something.....you go in the woods with only a knife, hunt down a bear and then kill it with a knife?

Give some details!

I've developed a new talent today...posting random crap so I can get to 15 posts and thus be allowed to post a pic on one of them.

Woohoo...this is number 15.

DAMN,

I read all these talents and realize I have NO bragging rights. Love golf but ain't good at it. Can't pitch no more. Can't run fast no more.Not a hunter. Too impatient to fish. I did RC airplanes for awhile, I was good, but many others could build and fly better'n me. Learned HTML and built a web site in the late 90's, but it took shear stubborness and too much time. PHP ?? (deer in headlights). Kids? Got one, but his looks and brains obviously come from his mother.

Hey, I'm HIGHLY mediocre. Is that a good thing?

well there are people who say I'm a perfect a$$hole, and I know I can pi$$ anyone off.

Are those bragging rights ??

O.K. I think luk.. wins WTF.

By the way, after all that, do you eat the bear. My brothers are avid hunters (not with a F***in knife though) and say bear is pretty tasty.

I hunt bear with a bow, black bear tastes like what they eat, garbage, Grizzly Bear is not bad, but the meat is greasy, smoking it with lots of fruitwood is the best way to prepare it. Bow hunting Grizzly is a bit of a challenge, you need to get within 50 feet to get a clean shot, and you may not have time for a second shot, so have a tree picked out in advance.

I don't leave my house without a Glock G-20 in 10mm under my left armpit.

I really hate to brag here but I can take the head off a chicken with a real sharp axe……A BEAR WITH A KNIFE HOLY CRAP……FOR FUN….I have been to the Artic Circle several times. Camped and hunted in places that humans may have never laid foot. I have worked with people who’s only source of food came from the land. I have heard stories of guys doing this because they had no choice, and most did not survive. To do this for fun…..YOU ROCK MAN…..

i dont' have much free time after work, and being a father and husband.
i do enjoy mtn biking, snowmobiling, and have driven a cup car at pocono which was a blast my next life, i want to come back as a race car driver.

i gotta give props to the guy who hunts a bear with just a knife. can you describe how you do this? i'm just picturing a bear with really long reach and super sharp claws, wondering how you kill it without getting hurt yourself.

I'm pretty decent at building computers, getting my wife pregnant, and cutting firewood. I'd trade everything to be with my family all the time. I was a pretty good golfer in HS, but now just an average divot maker flagging down the beer cart.

Yep. Although in practice it is a lot of work.

A little background here and then a few details. Trust me you just don't jump into knifing bear cold turkey one thing always leads to another. I will get tired of typing soon. My dad was a AVID hunter who lived and breathed everything having to do w/ hunting. As a result I grew up thinking that it was normal to obsess about trajectory, wind direction, scent, sign, so on and so forth. Well when you kill your first deer at 6 by the time your 10 to 11 you start looking for something more challenging than shooting deer at a 100 yards with a rifle. So I moved to bow which, though an improvement, was still not quite the right fit for me. Somewhere in here I read "The Tracker" by Tom Brown Jr. which struck a certain chord in me. After reading that book I knew that I had found my life's passion, tracking animals. By this time I was in High School and and had become completely obsessed w/ seeing how close I could come to touching big game animals. I would track animals during the day and then wait until they inevitably would fall asleep at which time I would sneak up to them and touch them and quietly sneak away. Like I said one thing leads to another, after becoming proficient at touching animals I figured that I could use my advantage of stealth and surprised to actually kill the animal. I know this sounds cold hearted to you city folk, but remember all I have ever know is hunting and the outdoors. It has been my life from birth, it is the main topic of conversation with my family, it is all I know!

Lets just put it this way sneaking up on rabbits and slitting their throats was not exactly the most challenging thing in the world, so began my life long love of knifing bears. Now if it doesn't seem sporting to sneak up on a sleeping bear to slit its throat, trust me it becomes sporting real quickly.

Tim, you are wild, man!

So I am guessing you have logged many hours in the field.

Until you post a video of you doing this, I'm calling B.S.

Sorry...it's the doubting Thomas in me.

I guess my other skills would be playing pool (specifically 9 ball), and Poker (specifically No Limit Hold Em)

How many times do you have to stab them before they die or give up on eatting you? I read the "slit part"....I can't understand how thats done, do you have to pull their head back first? Seems sort of hard with all the dense hair.

I use to hunt years ago, sneaking up on sleeping deer was always fun, I could never bring myself to kill one while it was sleeping. I woke a sleeping bear once, I did not know it was a bear at first, once I figured out what it was I ran away with my 8mm Mauser---the bear ran the other way!


Have you ever been filmed?

If a bear craps in the woods, does it smell???
Who cares if it is true, the story rocks.
