I've noticed.

Well, one of us is mistaken. Your habit is to be disagreeable while disagreeing. Then when you get frustrated - you just can't let something go. We'll just chalk that up to "enthusiastic discussion" techniques, just for the pure **** of it. If like you've stated, this is an ape - then it's just a dumb animal and really should have been taken long ago. If I'm correct in that it's a form of primitive man - then they have tactical excellence, they have "family" groups, they hunt together, they've adapted to us by conceding the daylight world to us, and dominating the night time world to them. they're intelligent enough to avoid swollen headed hunters, they'll carry off and bury their dead (maybe a bit of cannibalism here and there - but so do humans) they have their own means of communicating warnings, intrusions, and coordinate hunting movements they're smart enough to note human behavior and reside in what would be difficult terrain for humans, they're smart enough to raid gardens, orchards, and feed for farm animals, and almost clean them out, they'll have one surrounded without him knowing it, especially at night, using misdirection and they'll take to the ground more often than not - enabling them to hide from the same swole-headed hunters who can only say, "none around here." I would never, ever go out with someone like you. When your opponent is clever, just one person on your own team who exhibits myopic, impetuous, reckless, and frankly, a too limited mindset - that's a working disaster.

Humans are Apes......and evidently some of us are dumber than others

The only person on this website who is a legend in their own mind? Is you dude.......

No, I never crawled on my hands and knees in a thicket after a wounded Kodiak brown bear a client shot. I have entered enemy occupied caves and tunnel complexes armed with a .45 - and a flashlight I screened and used intermittently - does that count? Some of them were wounded, had AK's, grenades, and some of the underground complexes were booby-trapped - and you think I rather do that than face a wounded bear? I was going to let this go - but your now-recognized as rhetorical question was, " . . . doesn't mean you're willing to get on your hands and knees and crawl into an Alder thicket after a wounded Kodiak brown bear your client shot." SO many things just wrong with this question. It IMPLIES 1. you are a guide on Kodiak Island. 2. You've had clients shoot but not kill a Kodiak bear. 3. That retreated into an Alder thicket, 4. You client was unwilling to finish his kill, and 3. You had to go after the bear on your hands and knees. First, a Kodiak, Grizzly, and Coastal Brown - they're all brown bears. It's just that Kodiaks are brown bears limited to Kodiak Island. A grizzly is basically a brown bear found in the Lower 48. All other brown bears, especially the big Coastals in Alaska - are also brown bears - just not found in the Lower 48 or on Kodiak Island. It's understood among the hunting family that the Kodiak is a brown bear within hunting circles - and needs not be repeated. To use the term Kodiak brown bear is duplicative mis-terminology, normally one who isn't all that familiar with the proper terminology, common terminology usage, and common terminology understanding. Fine. You're the baddest of the bad. You're a wounded Bigfoot Kamikaze. A fearless great hunter among hunters. It's all yours. That better?
