Sensible, finally. The amount of denial around big predators is amazing.

My late friend Floyd killed one with a bow when he was hunting elk, in full stalking mode and about 30 feet away! He had chased it away twice already.

Have you read The Beast in the Garden?

You ought to tell of your own experience.

My experience of being stalked did not end in a thrilling climax, which is why, thus far, it seems unpublishable, unless I were to include it in some longer piece.

Good info in that link. I've been perusing you site a bit and enjoying many of your posts.
