I just got back from a hunt and figured someone would have brought this attack to our attention. Talked to the young mans mother yesterday and he is doing fairly well considering. There is a benefit for him in Dubois next Friday.

Only question I got is why is he not talking. I would be telling everyone that would listen that I got in a fight with a grizzly and lost.

Story doesn't sound right unless of course them western guys are just tough... they regrouped and by the way, "I've been mauled by a grizz"... hmmm

My first thought was i was wondering if Ryan Lochte bowhunts in Wyoming...

Sounds like the Reggie I know. If you guys knew Reggie, you would know that he is one of the quietest kids you'd ever meet. I worked with him for a year and he probably said 50 words. But yeah, pretty tough too. Nothing nefarious here, probably just doesn't want to talk about it.

I do know a few guys in Wyoming that a "light mauling" by a grizz would not stop them from hunting! Some seriously tough guys up that way!

This statement pop out at me. "So far in 2016 there have been two hunter-bear encounters that turned fatal. "
