595lb Black Bear

This bear was killed yesterday about 2 hours from here.
He had been getting into garbage cans, etc. in a residential area so had to be shot.
Good thing a drunk oil worker (imagine that) didn't come across him.

Bigsteel, I don't get it.

I suppose it's an Alberta thing.
The town where this bear was (Fox Creek) only exists to service the oilfield. All there is in the town is motels, bars and gas stations.
I should have quantified my statement.

And oilfield workers (aka rigpigs) work hard and party even harder.

You mean, to a drunk oilworker even a 595-lb. hairy bear might look good in a nightie? I'm not sure that's what you meant...

You've got that right.
