    Only bears in Thailand are stir-crazy in tiny little cages, being prodded with sticks by Welsh people.

    A few cougars around that I wouldn't mind a mauling from. Smoking hot bear anus on a few local Laotians that's for sure.

    Now that I read about the fish shows I wouldn't mind a trip to Japan either. To think the fish could be inserted repeatedly into some smoking hot Japanese minx makes me feel warm all over.

    Sure are Bears in Thailand 2 species the Malayan Sun Bear and Asian Black Bear and they are quite widespread throughout forest areas.

    This is one, a Sun Bear in Kaeng Krachan National Park.




    I remember reading some time back about a young lady in Canada who saved herself from a bear attack with a single shot 22 pistol.

    She shot her boyfriend in the knee than ran.

    I lived in Alaska for a few years. (Serious bear country)

    Outside of civilized areas bears are extremely shy of humans.

    There are bears known as "cooler bears", when they see tourists with thier coolers they scare them off to rob the contents of the the coolers.

    Then there was the bear who every year invaded the cariboo hunting camp I assited on the north fork of the squirrel river.

    Being the pilot with an airplane I was tasked with hauling meat from the camp.

    The camp hosted a number of folks from Anchorage who alway brought ample amounts of liquor.

    Anyway after the camp broke up I looked forward to harvesting the leftovers.

    Anyway one year crummy weather prevented a prompt return to the camp, and the bears had already done the deed.
    It was common to see beer cans bitten open., but this time I saw, how a bear had unscrewed the cap of half gallon glass bottle of Jack Daniels, and I was so looking forward to recovering that bottle.

    A few years later after I left my flying carreer. I heard the hunting camp boss, (my boss) shot that bear.

    That bear was a smart mofo. The few years I was there he was very elusive.

    I think my boss just got tired of all the damage being done to the camp, just waited one year to drill the thieving sucker.

    Plenty of bears around my place in Sweden. Last fatal attack (Rattvik) was , as if often the case one bear pissed of at a dog. Bear takes off after the dog, dog runs back to its owner....bear fucks up the owner.

    Awesome story, Earl (best I've read on TD so far)..

    I have never had any Bear encounters thank fuck, a few sheep encounters, but no bears (only beers, or beers & sheep heh)..

    Surprised to learn that firearms are relatively ineffective against them... even my .22 can kill a boar...*but it's ineffective against TD bores, unfortunately..

    Bears ey? fucking tough bastards!

    "Perhaps my new weapon (Derma-roller) with 540 micro needles - could defeat the beast... I could roll it to death. If it didn't die, at least it's skin would be collagen inducted, regenerated and sexy.

    That's my "Famous Friday" comment
