Uh, dunno how effective a shotgun would be on a bear until it was too late.
Anyway, as for the cutesy, cuddly effegies, $240 indeed! $4.95 is my max,
and that's only if I can't find anything for $2.95 (or less). I might
spend a bit more on a Blinky replica but it would have to serve as a pin
cushion as well as an example of lower life.
