Honey is going to get a head start on you while you track that giant porcupine.

His last recorded words!!!

“Bear with me here…”

Prepare to be quilled to death!

Are you sure?

The bear is going to be, “enjoying the go” as you both poop your pants!

Aaahhhhh , Lunch !

“A giant porcupine?” “When have you ever seen a porcupine?” “I don’t think porcupines even live around here.” “Oh … and … When (if) we get home, I’m going to enroll you in a class on identifying animal tracks.”

Looks like this one will get a fast education !

I love the reaction of the soon-to-be widow…

Darwin Award candidate…

I suspected the Bear Tooth Pass would be tougher than the Loveland pass. ♪♪ ’ The bear went over the mountain…to see what he could EAT???’

On 2nd thought, the Porcupine Mountains do allow brown bears to roam where the buffalo don’t really roam anymore.

It’s getting really prickly in 3, 2, 1 …

He’s about to get the point that there is a difference..

That could turn into a grizzly scene.

Stand by for a sticky situation.

That bear looks like he just ate a giant porcupine.

It helps to know that bears and porcupines are both plantigrade.

Look for the tiny bells!

Now THAT’s funny! Reminds me of two friends we had. Two ladies, sisters, older, and, um, rather the antithesis of athletic. But avid travelers. One trip took them to the Wisconsin woody wilderness in winter. Pulling over to a parking area in a preserve, they noticed tracks in the snow leading away into the woods. Large tracks. "OOHHH, let’s see what kind of animal it is, " says Sister One. “Great idea”, says Sister Two. And off they go, following the tracks, Two large, older women. In the snow. Alone. I asked them what exactly they were going to do with this animal if they found it. “Oh. We never thought of that.” Which is why fluffy woodland predators hang out near parking lots.

It’s just Bear from “Bear with Me” (orig “Molly and the Bear”). He’d correct her verbally. : )

Aaand another one out of the gene pool.

Why not groundhog tracks or hedgehog tracks?

His father always told him that he wouldn’t amount to s—t… I think, he’s about to prove dad wrong.

Sure it’s not a small T. Rex?
