That was posted on this list a couple of years back. 



It started out of a thread about fabric damage possibly from bears. It

started with a way to discourage bears and ended with the loss of the

aircraft and the cabin. It was one of those tales that although quite tragic

(if true, I think it was supposed to be true) just kept you in stitches the

whole way through. 



If anyone can find and repost that story I would be quite grateful, I would

love to read it again.

Why not google "bear damaged airplane"?

In fact I did try that a few weeks ago, and what I got was bear damaged

airplanes. Very impressive, sad and not actually what I wished to see.

What I wanted specifically was to read the story that had been posted on

this list. Now I suppose I could wade through the over 16 million results,

trusting that if it were there it would be in the first couple hundred

thousand or so. Or I could post here hoping the original author is still

among us and hasn't been discouraged by suggestions to look elsewhere for

information. I have my own opinions about which is most likely to turn up

one obscure story that was only peripherally concerned with bears damaging

planes, but thanks for all your help!

Dave,
	


     I don't know if you know about the Matronics search engine: 

http://www.matronics.com/searching/search.html. I dug through it but 

couldn't find anything like what you're looking for.

I do Guy, thanks. I could not find it either, nor with Google although it

may well be in that pile somewhere. I'm fairly certain this list was the

source, I'll wait and see if someone can point me to it. Thanks for looking.

No problem, the original post was shorter than I recalled, originally posted

by Leonard Perry on this list. It was in a discussion about duct tape. 



Here is the posted story...



yep... he had gone fishing and did not wash the plane out real good.... 



Quick story.. 



A buddy had a cabin out on Silver Salmon creek. He flew his cub out for the

summer to commercial fish there. He was having trouble with bears loving on

his plane and bending them up a bit so he called fish and game to come out.

He told them the next time he sees the bear he is going to shoot it. Fish

and game frown on this and give him a case of Roman Candles and told him to

shoot the bear with the roman candle and he wont have any more bear

problems. If you don't know what a roman candle is, it is a firework that

shoots out flaming colored balls about 60' or so.. if you do know what a

roman candle is, then you know that the fuse is on the opposite end of what

you would expect... At any rate, my buddy get awoken about 4:00 in the

morning to the sound of a bear outside huffing around. he jumps out of bed

in his underwear and grabs a roman candle, eases open the cabin door, takes

careful aim and lights the fuse and waits... it takes a few seconds for this

to start going off so he is "tracking" the bear. The first shot goes off and

realises that it is shooting flaming balls out the wrong end and he just

launched on insdide the cabin.. in his haste to trun it around he proceeds

to launch 2 more into the cabin before it gets pointed out the door.. now he

is not so carefully aiming at the bear and fires a round into his ceconite

and dope covered supercub... to his horror, the plane goes poof and is now a

raging inferno. He freaks out and start running out to the plane to see if

he can put the fire out.. no dice.. it is just burning too hot at this

point. About this time, he remembers that he had fired off a few rounds

inside his log cabin... yepp, he truns around in about pisses himself when

he realizes his cabin and his plane are now fully engulfed. So by now, it is

close to 4:30 AM, he has nothing but his underwear on and he gets to take a

1 mile walk of shame down to the next cabin to get help... Needless to say,

once he was fully clothed, he borrowed the neighbors cub, loaded up the

remaining case of roman candles and flew straight the fish and game

headquarters where he just darn near inserted the proper end in the now very

scared biologists butt and lit the fuse inside the building... 



They no longer hand out roman candles as bear deterrent's, and Kenny went on

a one man crusade to rid the world of bears lol.... to have him tell the

story over a few beers is about the funniest thing I have ever heard, and I

can, in no way do justice to the way it should be told..

I posted the story as told to me a long time ago by the guy who done it. 



 It takes all kinds to keep the entertainment value up around these parts as bone headed "hunting trip" stories are way to common.  Most sound like a red neck fairy tale and start with "this this aint no $#it" or "y'all aint gonna believe this $#it" . 



A great book filled with one mans hunting stories that is filled with tails of narrow escapes and truly bone headed stuff that should have made ole Bob the recipient of a darwin award is "oh no were gonna die".



I know alot of the stories (mainly the true ones) are hard to believe but you know, they are just so ridiculous that you just cant get stoned enough to make them up!
