This one particular Friday it had rained earilier in the day so we decided to stay near the cabin and just relax.

My uncle went in to get his rifle and I went in the back to see the bear (I was from New Jersey and that's quite a common sight there). When I got around the house, I was stunned to find our visitor was no bear. ...
