Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up is not as easy to accomplish as it might seem.

Something I read once...

The lack of security of a secret is equal to the SQUARE of the number of people who know it.

The only secure secrets are the ones which never leave the inside of your skull.

#2: "Never, ever involve the wife..."

Precisely. And he DID NOT "shoot, shovel, shut up".

He clearly forgot to SHUT UP!

"About seven months later, Charrette and his wife had divorced. His ex-wife's new boyfriend reported the bear shooting to authorities."

Now there's a new definition of the term "Chickenhsit" for you.

Oh, and it was a 9th Circuit judge who overturned it on appeal? Someone was looking out for this guy, IMO.

‘Human Terrain Analyst”

They’re Army chix who escort patrols around Afghanistan, doing Super Sociological stuff (insert blizzard of highly academic, technical powerpoint slides here).

In fact the ploy is simple:

Get foolish or pissed off Afghani chix (thats most of them) to rat out their dudes to uniformed honky chix.

They sometimes know where the weapons are hidden and they will spill the beans.

Even then, I had a wife who I swear could read my mind. She routinely accused me of tings I knew I did not say because when I thought them I knew I better not say them.

Yes.

About the only time that S,S & S works is if you abide closely to your level of secrecy.

---------------

To a family farmer in the Upper Midwest losing a few dairy heifers is a very big deal. Leaving the springing heifers out on pasture is always a temptation but a new mom isn't smart enough to defend her new calf.

Black bear aren't quite as big but they are at least as smart and every bit as hungry. Once a bear acquires a taste for veal, shootin' is the only wait to stop them.

Benjamin Franklin once said that three people can keep a secret only if two of them are dead.

Ronan is on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana.

The 9th Circuit judge probably consulted his favored-status tip card, Homos, Blacks, Illegal Mexicans, Mexicans, Trannies, Women, Muslims, Indigenous Peoples, protected wild species.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Get out of jail card free!

Actually I'm on the side of Charette here...grizzly populations have exploded and some dirt-poor Indian driving up to the USFW office with a griz in the back of his pickup isn't going to be received well.

Our circle of travel includes one of these female soldiers. She says the Afghan men were driven nuts by female soldiers and either wanted to kill them or f them. The later would spin the intel very easily.

Looks like some of us still won’t listen to Weingarten, and some of the comments in this thread are pretty funny. :-D

Probably not true.

He said he shot and killed one of the bears when it chased his dogs toward the home and appeared to be climbing a fence into his yard. Charette and a friend tied the bear's carcass to a truck, dragged it away from the property and buried it in a field.

"Honey, what do you have tried to the truck in our yard? Is that a grizz?"

Sometimes you get the bear, other times a woman totally ruins your life.

How can there ever be a question about self-defense when a grizzly is coming after you?
