The strength of the hunting and outdoor gene in the Anderson family was in serious trouble on this day. We tried to get a picture of Tom in front of the bear and you can tell by his body language that he was not pleased. Notice the turned out pouty lip, the sagging shoulders and the complete lack of excitement in his face. The key to Tom's message was body language. As a side note, there were a group of men watching Tom and there were belly laughs all around.
Of course, I have seen this before in his father. I clearly remember the morning that Curtis said he'd had enough and was headed back to the camper. I let him get down the trail about 50 yards and then I told him, "Don't let the badger get you on the way back." Instant tears and a 180 degree turn around as he came back to sit with his dad. So Curtis, remember this when you take Tom on his first bear hunt.
For a great laugh yourself, just click on the picture. Remember the saying, "A Picture Paints a Thousand Words."

The more I look at that picture I think that Tom may have been immitating the bear.
