Corky there are more bear than I have ever seen around here in this country but I must say that Wimpy dog of Dale,s did a nice job on that bear last night but it was a mighty long walk but one heck of a view from the top of that mountian was down in spruce run hunting on the right side going down from the top you could see all the lights from Blacksburg and Christiansburg and looking the other way you was looking right down 460 in to Pembroke and Pearisburg it was something but if that bear had went down and crossed 460 we would more than likely had two dead hounds we were lucky
