gonefishin Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 People see fido and think they have seen a wolf I wonder if somebody seen a Lab and thought it was a bear. I would rather be fishin'.

Terry Beeson Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Well, the pictures on KY3 a few days ago (from Nixa) didn't look like any Lab I've ever been around... I heard they are very partial to hunting for food in tail waters at night.... Doesn't a bear slapping at a fish sound a lot like a beaver slapping with his tail? Doesn't a bear hungry for night fishermen sound a lot like a squawking heron? Aren't they partial to fish that are on a hook being dragged upstream? I also heard they are attracted to small lights like the ones you wear around your head or on your cap. Then there's that thing about them mistaking the smell of wet breathable waders for the smell of fresh salmon... Not to scare anyone or anything....

WebFreeman Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 There was quite a bit of footage of a bear in Nixa a couple summers ago I think. It fell asleep in someone's barn one afternoon. I haven't seen the recent footage, but I get it's the same one. Just think, Phil went all the way to Alaska to catch rainbow trout and see bears and we had them both here after all! “Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” — Henry David Thoreau Visit my web site @ webfreeman.com for information on freelance web design.
Terry Beeson Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 ...Phil went all the way to Alaska to catch rainbow trout and see bears and we had them both here after all! And there are no snakes or armadillos in Alaska... WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!?!?!?

Gavin Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Its possible...a park ranger friend says they have several sightings a year in the ONSR they have been spotted near St. Louis before, last one I heard of was a bit south of Fredericktown..FWIW, most of the bears that wander through Missouri are young male bears from Arkansas. Looking for love in vain I guess.
Snow Fly Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I hope for MrDucky sake these black bears are scared of the BIG HORN and really STRANGE ODORS. "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line"
gonefishin Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Well, the pictures on KY3 a few days ago (from Nixa) didn't look like any Lab I've ever been around... Nah, I seen those pics on the news. That was a 'dillo in disguise. Wasn't it? I would rather be fishin'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."

Terry Beeson Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 OK... OK... OK... I admit... it was me lookin' for a midnight snack...
