Mohan: As you well know, I've been an ultra cautious bear until early March/99. Took much damage in 1997 as a result of being too slow to recognize a mania in progress, but then more or less moved deep into the cave to sleep. During 1998, good ursine health was maintained by monitoring the wacky action through the binoculars, with occasional forays taken to knock off the occasional "mortally wounded" victim. It made for an acceptable year. From my perspective, Spring has arrived and it is time for this particular bear to shuffle out into the sunlight and SLOWLY return to carnivorous pursuits. Being an older bear like yourself, there are painful scars that still hurt, but at least many of the bear traps are recognizable now and there are plenty of them visible. Then too, as it has been a long winter, my inclination is to hunt with patience rather than with exuberance, at least until the strength returns and the reflexes sharpen. This year looks good. Micron, which frustrated me through much of the last two years, took a bunch of arrows in the gut, courtesy of some sharp-eyed SI hunters, and has proven a delightful "first real bear kill". A delicious and ongoing feast. Dell too looked like a "limper" through the binocs, so pursuit was initiated. Some nice morsels were acquired, but it managed to escape a hamstringing. It is bleeding nicely and the trail of blood is being patiently followed. We bears will feast well on that one, probably before the next quarterly. Compaq was dragging one leg coming out of 1998, but I was a bit slow during the chase. Some other quicker bears, led by MB, dropped it and ate most of it on the spot. Only managed a few tidbits on that one, but it did taste good. As I sit here at the cave mouth, relaxed, and contented, it really is a pleasure to look down at the valley and note that it is teeming with game. Internet gazelles are plentiful beyond anything I have ever seem in past summers. They are very quick, but there are so many of them. LOTS of young ones too. The tech bushes are bulging with plump berries, some already surprisingly ripe. So long as I stay sharp and avoid those traps, it should be a good hunting season. Certainly there are no shortages this year. I do have one worry. As you well know, that huge cliff still exists at the end of the valley, and the dumb bunnies and buffalos we hunt have been known to thunder over the edge as a single herd. While it makes for one huge feast when it happens, you have to be there when they do their thing, and the hunting is lousy for years afterward. I know they're likely to do it this summer, as they usually do when they get so plentiful, but for the time being, I'll just enjoy the nice weather, and work on the ambush skills. Yawn, stretch. Hand me the binoculars would you? (g) Best, Earlie
