In the News:

Former Marine Chris Everhart was attacked by a black bear while camping with his sons in Chattahoochee National Forest. He couldn't get to his pistol. He killed it with a chunk of firewood. The Forest Service fined him $75.

This is the baddest dude since another former Marine, 62-year-old Dale "I got scratched up pretty good" Rippy, strangled a rabid bobcat.

I want to be on whatever team those guys are on.

You are on the team, and there is no such thing as a ‘Former’ Marine.

I freely admit being a wimp. Hornets make me run and scream like a little Japanese girl being chased by Godzilla. I can almost guarantee that I couldn't grab a squirrel and hold on while it clawed away, let alone a wildcat.

This happened three years ago.

It's still quite a feat, but old news.
