Up n` here in the mountains, us`n`s don need no gun when we us berrying pickin` in them blueberry patches - We just bring them thar pots and pans and we bang away- Them bears `ll never bother you. We been doin` pots n pan bangin` for over 100 yares here,- even the kids go out where the bears are eatin in the patch, then bangin on the pots and pans makes a racket and them bears- well they just run away! We never ain`t had even so much as a 6 yaers old kid get attacked by a bear when they is blueberryin- My Mother done went blueberryin` with her sisters in 1927 when she was 10 yaers old- that bear done come along and bang bang bang on them pots and pans and that bear just run off. HA It is a true story. The bears come here around the house here looking for them berries in the patch but instead of a gun I just grab my big copper skillet, run out and bang away! HHHaaa!
Within 30-miles of the Everglades, the real issue isn’t bears or gators. There are probably more 10-to-20 foot pythons than the total number of bears and gators...
Damn bear didn't even have the common courtesy to warn the poor guy?
That's just cold...
