One of my favorite scenes in Jeremiah Johnson,one of my favorite movies, is when the mountain man asks Robert Redford if he knows how to skin "grizz", and then leads an angry grizzly into the cabin for Redford to skin.

Continuing the bear under the trailer story,I didn't see the bear next spring festival,but he was back in the Fall.

It was after the festival again,and I was in the trailer asleep.Again. I woke up to clawing sounds from the back of the trailer and the trailer was getting shaken pretty good.This time I jumped out of the trailer clad only in socks and BVDs,spread both arms in the air above my head,and gave a loud roar.The bear was so startled he jumped backwards and bounced off the rear bumper of my Suburban,then disappeared into the night.

The next fall, he was back again. This time I pounded on the wall of the trailer and roared without ever getting up.

He hasn't come back.

Other bears,however,are a different story.
