An old bear hunter decided to show his grandson the tricks of the trade. He instructed to meet him at the family cabin at 6 a.m. the next morning. The young lad arrived in pleanty of time, when he walked in he saw gramps holding a large bag and a shotgun. Standing by his side was his dog "Ike." They jumped in the R.V. and on the way the old man started to explain the process. "Billy, I hunt bear for the local zoos...I don't care to hurt 'em. This way I get the thrill of hunting and the satisfaction of allowing them to survive..plus I make a few bucks." He continued, "Now, when we get there..we move quietly to my favorite hunting spot. When I see the bear, I'll jump up, make a lot of noise and chase the bear up a tree. Once the bear is in the tree, I'll shake it real hard until the bear falls to the ground. Once on the ground old IKE will bite him in the crotch, this freezes the bear. Without hesitation, YOU throw the bag over the bear and we'll tie 'em up and haul him to the zoo. Any questions?" Billy thought for awhile and repeated everything the old man said. Then it dawned on him..."Grandpa, I understand everything you said, but if we're not going to hurt the bear what's the shotgun for." "Oh..that's simple" replied the old man. "If the bear shakes me out of the tree...shoot the dog." T.R.
