Not really that excited about it, but here is the story. Got a late start today and left Idaho about 8 pm headed for Helena MT and my Navy Reserve weekend at Ft Harrison. As I am rolling about 75 mph between Butte and Helena about midnight, BAM. Dead bear, Dead car. I barely kept it on the road, then pulled over as steam and loud unnatural noises come from the car. Call the highway patrol and tell them I hit a bear ( mile marker 140, just north of Elk Park ). An hour later a trooper shows up, and I tell him I hit a bear. He says no way, must have been a dog ( look at the picture of my car, what kind of dog does that kind of damage? ). So he tells me get all my info together while he drives back a half mile and moves the various pieces of my car off the interstate. He comes back and says, "Yup, it was a bear and you killed it". Now, several hours later, I am sitting at a Dennys in Butte at 0230 hanging out with the post bar crowd, waiting for my wife to drive up from Idaho. I still have to go to Helena, and am hoping to get a picture of the bear when it gets light. But for now, this is the only photo I got......
