I will admit that after reading of these encounters that "camping out" now means a 45 Bisley revolver for carry and a 12 gauge double barreled shotty with Brennekes for the tent at night.

In discussing bear stories a friend at the gunsmith's related how a female camper was pulled from one of three tents and killed one night years ago around Yellowstone. The other tents had people,lights on and food inside.The only reason they could think of for her possible selection was she was menstrating, causing the bear to select her.

Bears--serious business!!
