What's the most ferocious animal you've ever met eye-to-eye....

...in the wild?

For me it was this 600 pound Black Bear that I killed with a Bic pen.

That was a day to remember.

2. A yappy little dog with razor sharp teeth

that the owner had encouraged to have a very bad attitude. He used to release that dog and let it chase kids away, snapping and snarling. He used to laugh while that dog bit kids and shredded pant legs.

I have no idea how he got away with it. Looking back, I wonder why he wasn't arrested and the dog wasn't put down. But I was a kid at the time so all I knew was that most of the dog-bites in the area came from that one vicious little dog.

3. a drunk republican with a shotgun

sober and unarmed they're as meek as, well, sheep

but give them eight or nine scotches and a shotgun and they turn downright mean.

4. Ran into one of them in the "Smokies" while backpacking.

First I said it, then I did it.

Shit, that is. It sniffed once and ambled off into the woods.

6. A bear and her cub

of course they were sitting up begging for food along the roadside at Yosemite.

I didn't have a Bic pen with me, either.

7. My dogs cornered a couple of Rattlesnakes... I was in the corner.

I've been around lots of 'ferocious animals' in my life... But, that was the
closest I've come to buying it.

8. none really

more than a few 'just misses' with bears, and once on craggy pinnacle I happened onto a fresh mountain lion print in the snow (meaning that day)...which was really cool but scary. A black snake dropped out of tree about three feet in front of me the other day, which was cool. I thought it was a branch til it started moving. Honestly the meanest are yellowjackets and freaking fire ants.

9. A dolly llama

Yeah, you always hear how peaceful they are, but in real life that don't look at all like little dolls, or even llamas. They look more like human beings wearing orange jumpsuits. And when you accidentally step on their bagged lunch and kick over their glass of herbal tea, they can be quite vicious. This one had a small pack with him, and they threw down some ninja sh&t that left me on the ground gasping for air as they yanked the film from my camera.

14. A BullMoose

In 79 my buddy and I ascended the Knife Edge Trail up Mt Katahdin in Maine. We climbed down the boulder strewn bowl side, we walked around some trees and underbrush, coming to a dead stop about ten feet from a huge bullmoose. We froze, then slowly backed up. He then ambled off.

In Colarado, I saw two bighorn sheep butting heads, but that was from a safer distance.(about 35-40 feet)
