Bear attack or homicide in Montana

That blow up Hunting Buddy (I can't seem to find out how to order one) gave me an idea. How about a blow up decoy tent, with a Hunting Buddy inside? Should both pack up nice and small.

Undomesticated, seriously we want to hear the bow story!!

I guess it’s confession time. This seems to be the time and place to come clean . I have a blowup hunting buddy, but I’ve never told anyone about her…er… I mean “it.”

You’re a calmer man than me. I would have already buried the knife.

Twice.

I was also thinking” What if I’m wrong?, And I brandished or buried my knife in this dude for no reason other than he’s weird.. bingo, jail time. Bingo permanent record.. I just wanted to get to the KOA.

Some years back I was camped in an attended forest service campground. I arrived after the office had closed but the gate was open - so I went in and talked to a host who said they had someone leaving early and just pay in the AM and set up my campsite. It was summertime so I camped with the door flap zippered back.

I was awakened to a different "camp host" that had driven his golf cart into my site, right up on my tent, and was screaming through the open flap about me being a trespasser for not paying camp fees. Took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on, but he continued to berate me and told me I was going to be arrested as he already called the sheriff. He didn't get the response from me he expected and threatened to come in my tent and physically remove me from the campground. There were some words exchanged and as he came closer I was reaching for my G27 he suddenly thought better of it and tore off down the road.

Nothing came of it - got a couple nights camp for free from the area manager, who apologized and asked me not to create an official complaint with the USFS. Never saw the jerk again. Out of hundreds of nights of camping, that was the only major issue I recall, except for a minor one with another host at the same place years later.
