I remember one time while hiking with my girlfriend In northern Alberta
and out of nowhere came this huge brown bear charging us and was
she mad. We must have been near one of her cubs. Anyway, if I had
not had my little Jethro I would not be here today.
Just one shot to my girlfriend' s knee cap was all It took . . . . . the bear
got her and I was able to escape by Just walking at a brisk pace.
its one of the best plates in my collection...
