Hunting

Not very often does anything exciting happen in our lives so I decided to post a few of these interesting pictures. Ryan went hunting a few weeks ago with his dad and three other men. Only three of the men (not Ryan) got charged by a grizzly bear, but don't worry, no one was hurt. They scared the bear off before he got to them by yelling and screaming. It did frighten them quite a bit. They had a black bear in their camp one night. A grizzly bear also tried to get to the elk Ryan shot and had hanging in a horse trailer by tearing up the trailer. The bear even bit entirely through the spare tire! Needless to say, I don't think Ryan will be going to this hunting spot again!

The bear tore off the metal front of the horse trailer.



This is the spare tire. You can kind of see the claw and teeth marks in it.

Ryan would like to say this was his elk, but it's not. One of the other guys shot this one.


This is a picture of Ryan's elk. Sorry, it's kind of disgusting.

You should have Ryan's Elk head mounted. Don't you want a house full of Heads? LOL I can say that b/c Kevin's step-dad is a taxidermist and they have, 3 bears, 1 moose, 1 elk, 14 deer, 1 mountain lion, 1 bobcat, 1 badger, and to top it all off, a squirrel!!! it's basically like a zoo. Gotta love it. Sounds like a very interesting hunting trip. Now you won't have to starve all winter! Yum Yum!

Wow! Tell Ryan he's never allowed to go hunting again!!! :) That is so scary. My step-dad had to shoot a bear in our front yard once because it was trying to get into our house. Really scary. I'm glad that Ryan is okay!! Great pictures
