It had to happen sooner or later, ...our Kinley Postal workers went Postal. Neighbour Jerry arrived last night as I was barbequeing, in his hand a fresh picture of the couple that deliver our mail. Jerry said, "You won't have to worry about your bear no more!" Sure enough, stretched out before our Posties was a very 300 lb, very dead bear ...posed with a high caliber rifle propped against it!
I said, "Very nice Jerry, but ...that ain't my bear!" It had been shot 2 miles north of Kinley last Wednesday, but, truth to tell, this bear appeared a brownish colour, and ours had appeared a very believable 'black'! I don't wish to sound boastful, but ...in my minds' eye, our bear was also about three sizes larger!
Just an update folks. I have little time to concern myself with Postal workers shooting bears, while I'm preparing to shoot bull! However, the event does give this Provinces Posties a new twist on an old boast, "Niether rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor dark of night, ...hmmm ...did I mention bears!?
