ran this critter away in base vicinity...
Great post!
But this guy didn't think so...
He is drawing the line....
From the edge of the forest, the following conversation was overheard;
Boo-Boo Bear yelling: Yogi Look Out! Here comes Mr. Surveyor in his Helicopter!
Yogi said: I was just wandering across that field looking for a "pic-a-nic basket", eh Boo-Boo? I figured that GPS must have been marking the spot for a good lunch bucket.
Boo-Boo Bear said: But Yogi, Mr. Surveyor didn't seem to like it when you got near his GPS equipment.
Yogi said: Boo-Boo, I wasn't gonna mess with his GPS, I was just looking for a little snack in that there pic-a-nic basket he left for me... Then he flew over that hill and ran me off... There must have been some good sandwiches in his "pic-a-nic basket". We'll go back later and see if he left us anything. 😉
Heck, we gotta run 'em off at ground level.
You are a stud!
My co-worker said he encountered a California Black Bear in the hills in Lake County. It was on the other side of the brush about 15' away. He yelled at it and it turned and left.
I love bears! Working in thick brush you can smell them. Working in thick brush you can hear the lope of each galloping gait, praying they are not coming towards you. Gun, bear spray whatever...if they are coming at you in thick brush you don't have much time to repel the beast. It's a great adrenaline rush and glad I've never had one coming at me. To have one within 20 yards and stand up on its hind legs and HOOF HOOF HOOF to clear it's nose and try to smell you're whereabouts is a bone chlling experience. More times than not, they are more afraid of you than you are of them. Grizzlies are a different story, they do not fear man. In conclusion, a bad day in the field is better than a good day in the office.

Roll of Northern Bathroom Tissue
20,000 acres of nothingness and Daryl sets up next to the little tree with the little limb holding the bear's private roll of Northern bathroom tissue. Now, where is he supposed to do his business? In the woods?
My career will culminate at the point which I survey from a helicopter.
