Don't Poke A Sleeping!

I got bored this afternoon (imagine that) and was going through some old pictures.  I had forgot about this incident.  While Bobcat'n around a few years ago I walked up on this.  I thought it was dead.  I was looking for a long stick so I could poke it.  I couldn't find a long stick, so I picked up a short one and tossed it on top of the critter.  After doing so I kinda wished I hadn't done that.   Their 40 time is much more impressive than I had anticipated :emoticon-cartoon-012:

Glad your crocs held up to the high RPM's. Personally I never try to poke any bear.

Year ago up in the Adirondack Mountains they used to get bears in at the local dump and it was a popular place to go for tourists in the evening. Another guy and myself got within petting distance of one, he reached down and pet it and no problem, I decided to do the same and got growled at. I thought better of the idea and backed off.

Glad you threw a stick first versus walk-in on over and start skin 'in  im out.

When you poked him did you get an answer to the age old question, Does a bear poop in the woods?

When scouting one year in Pennsylvania when I was about 15 years old, I walked down a wide trail through a bunch of berry bushes. As I was walking down the trail I heard something up ahead of me about 50 yards and all the sudden seen an adult black bear standing on his hind legs looking over top of the berry bushes. I dropped my tree stand right there and ran down to my uncle's house and he had a huge laugh how frightened I was.

Think I'd rather walk up on the bear and slap his  before I'd have to walk anywhere near a gator.
