FAIRBANKS -- When Tiffany Morris looked out the window in Anderson and saw her pet beagle, Buddy, standing face to face with a grizzly bear, she couldn't bear to look.
"They were standing there nose to nose, looking at each other," said Morris, 20, describing the incident Tuesday night as her life's scariest moment.

"In a matter of two minutes, half the town was here," Tiffany said. "I looked out and saw rifles everywhere. That's when I felt safe." I can just imagine horrified liberals choking when they get to that part!
But Jon Bailey couldn't find ammunition for either of his rifles.
"The kids shot them all up target shooting," he said.
I wonder how many liberals are cancelling their travel plans to Alaska over this one!!! Kids shooting guns?!!! How awful!!! Ha ha ha! Go to Frisco instead!

"I looked out and saw rifles everywhere. That's when I felt safe." What a WONDERFUL quote! Even worthy as a tag line.

I'm going to AK for a fishing trip in June. Will spend a week in the wilds with my dad and my lib anti-gun brother. My dad and I have been sending my brother some of these bear stories. My anti gun brother has asked if me and my dad will be bringing our guns. We told him we would, if it made him feel better. (of course we had planned to all along)

I had a big beautiful white tomcat that faced off with a Bobcat in the wilderness in Northern CA. I was walking up the path from the garage and there was Mr. Lee all puffed up and growling at a Bobcat doing an imitation of Mr. Lee.
My Tom chased off the Bobcat which really scared me. I did not expect to see him again. But, working on his 9 lives, he returned that night intact and very proud of himself. He also had a good relationship with a Muledeer Buck and his harem. They slept under my deck (1 Story off the ground)or in the blackberry brambles nearby. The fawns were kept in the blackberry tangle, but my 4 yr old grandaughter was privliged to be an intimate.
I really loved living there, just above the snowline amid tha tall timber, in the Sierra. It was just me, Mr. Lee, Lauren and my Son, David at 18. He died on Memorial Day 7 years ago at 37, of cancer, but he was an alcoholic and a poor tormented talented soul. We couldn't save him from himself. Go figure! I still try.
