Pretty much my thoughts on this early mornings daily speed hike in the Chugach here in South Central AK. This seasons count so far this year since spring on said hike has been 8 black bears and 4 browns, with one of those blacks getting pepper sprayed ..
Reminds me of a walk I did one afternoon up a dirt road near where I live. Was lost in deep thought until I heard a snort, and looked over to find I had surprised Mama bear with three cubs. Fortunately, she went one way and I the other. But in that moment, I discovered what we both do in the woods.
With all the ice disappearing, the white-furred versions of Wiley bears are having a tough time. We need to attract hunters – then equip them with guns lacking a firing pin.
I expected Pierre use the word smell instead of spot. Yes, I know this is about leaves falling, but smell makes ze rhyme. – maybe “spot the sneekee bears, not just smell zem”
Why does Pierre always seem to encounter bears in every strip he appears in? And don’t just say, “Because he lives near the North Pole”. That’s rubbish.

In Australia, they are called “Drop Bears”. Even spiders, sharks, crocs and dingos fear them.

Wiley bears wouldn’t be seen in the stuff, they prefer to go au naturel. … and yes I did spot the pun.

Could we release Wiley’s Bears in the White House. It would be a two fold benefit, happy bears and a lot less stupid in Washington.

Now those have got to be black bears because, as a general rule, grizzlies don’t climb trees.

Just wait till winter and the big white bears snuggle up to the cabin window. Can’t tell them from snow drifts. Not sure if this will work

Given how Wiley has turned out to be a Useful Idiot, I’m surprised that he didn’t give one of the bears a Trump face.

Sneekee Bears are first cousins to Wiley Bears.
It’s mostly a variation in the colors of the Fur.
Sneekee Bears have a faint Cammo pattern that makes them more difficult to spot.

There is this things bears do in the woods. Having seen the bears, Pierre probably did it too.
