    Fatboy I have been over that pass probably 5-6 times and it's different each time I crossed it. It is simply beautiful on a bright blue clear day. Wife and I crossed over one late afternoon and it started snowing. They shut the road down behind us and it got really spooky getting into Red Lodge. What a great place though. There is a sign at top that says your at the top of the world. Highly recommend anyone riding through Yellowstone park to cross over and go out the pass into Montana you won't regret it.

    There is nothing there. I see snow. I hate snow. Grizley bears will do nothin but get shot.
    If I lived where grizley bears was I'd get a few Aikida Dogs. they were made to kill bears.

    The Aikido dogs are from Japan, They used them there to hunt and kill bears.

    You are talking about the Japanese Akita Dog whos ancestor, the Matagi dog was bred for hunting, among other things the Asian Black Bear. The dogs did not kill the bears, they held the bears at bay until the hunter arrived. Akita dogs were sometimes bred for fighting, they have a really loose skin that in a fight may get bitten but usually its just the loose skin not the muscle or tendions under it.

    When I was a kid we had an Akita from Japan. Back then we lived in Naval Housing in Pearl City Hawaii surounded by cane fields. Wild dogs running in the cane fields become so much of an issue, the MP's would shoot them on sight. The Akita would run away from home and be gone for days at a time. When my brother would go out and look for him, he would often see him in the distance running at the head of the pack. He'd come hopme after a few days all busted and banged up. Give him a week or so to recover and he'd soon be back out in the cane fields., to do it all over again.

    Aloha....Mike M

    You can take down a grizz with a pistol. Trick is holding the gun against his eye pointed towards his brain. :gah:
