All good. I apologize. I've posted things on here before and just get made fun of. I just spoke with the local Game Warden about an hour ago who patrols Town Creek. I am now one of many dispatchers for the Game Wardens for the state. I also dispatch wildfires too (15 years). He said yes, there are some huge bears around but most will run from you. But you never know! If they have a cub you're in trouble. I try to throw away food on the ground if I see it. I saw a big pile of poop a few days ago at TC. Probably human which is just nasty but you never know. I have been to Town Creek many of times and never ran up on one, but if one walks out on you, I just get nervous fishing there by myself. I drive 2 hours to fish there. Freak accidents do happen. I am cautious, yes. I mean what can you do? Nothing. Swim or shoot lol. Either way, no gun and you're bear meat. I've never seen a gator there. Will I go back? Of course. I'm going this week. I usually hit up Short Creek and shew away the water snakes and then hit Town Creek. My buddy who lives up there has been doing good at South Sauty. I see people posting on Facebook daily of catching good numbers in mid-day. Good luck and be safe is all I can tell you.
