They won't be any good at guarding the border, just look what happened when they were hired to watch over pot fields.

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: Didn't that already happen after Katrina?

/yes I know it's about bears

I was going to say something like this, but decided to let you take the heat.

Not just blacks. Young, black males. Troublemakers.

Bear season is almost upon us!

We have too many bears in Georgia so residents get to take them out if we can find them. Can take days to track a single bear and while you're at it they may be tracking you. It makes for a very interesting hunt.

The last hunt I was on one of the farkers almost ran me over blasting down a hill at must of been 30MPH.

This year I'm baiting starting in October with apples and other fresh fruits. Basically marinating the farker before I kill it :)

Then I'm going to smoke half of it in my friends smoke shed for two days and turn the rest of the meat into breakfast sausage and smoked sticks keeping the tenderloins for steaks!

Helllll yah. Damn I'm hungry.

Very unnecessarily flametastic headline, subbs.

I_AM_SRC: FYI..

NOT to be confused with..

Ha yeah.. In my early hunting days when I was around 14 I guess I accidentally shot a shetland pony while boar hunting.

In fairness it was an hour before dawn and the stupid ass mini horse shouldn't have been out there anyways. What the hell is a tiny horse doing walking around in brush?

mod3072: FTFA:"The money we've been able to use in recent years to fund the research on the return of black bears to East Texas," said Garner.

Does that make sense to anyone else, or am I just short on coffee this morning?

No. It makes no sense.

This is also FTFA: Once eradicated by hunting and habitat loss, the bears are flourishing in border states, and ranging into Texas and opportunistic feeders.

And this: "We put out game camera's to get pictures of the deer..." What's with the apostrophe on "camera's"?

(sigh) I know I'm an old fogey, but I miss the days of editors.

Fundamental Thereom Of Farkulus: dude...have you ever actually ate bear meat?

Yes .. My granddad taught me how to make it and prep it and whatnot. Also I'm from Louisiana so we eat everything and love it!

DFWPhotoGuy: I am spending the weekend crawling the Sulphur River. If I dont post by Sunday afternoon I was eaten by a bear. Have my remains cremated and spread on the Frio River.

You don't travel with a firearm? I always carry a .45 with hyrdoshocks whenever I hike. Safety ya know.

2KanZam: I take it you have, and it was improperly butchered, stored and prepared?


It strikes me as funny when people say bear is nasty....it's because they don't know what they are doing. Case in point: We had a cook out a couple months back and I brought some bear shoulder steaks. I didn't tell anyone what is was until EVERYONE at the cook out was raving over the great steaks I prepared, forgoing their own choice meats. I have to admit though....nothing is nastier than bear fat, it absorbs every flavor it comes in contact with.

If you don't like it....give it to me. :)

Righto.. It's in the prep and the cooking. I ham half the meat I get and grill the lean pieces.

I'm also baiting so I have control over what they eat for a month before I wackem.
