My best buddy lives in Wyoming and hunts the southern portion of griz country...he's seen two. He's been hounding me to come back out, but two things are stopping me.
One...retirement on a fixed income. I truly can't afford it anymore.
Two...left knee replacement 3 years ago, and the right in need of same. Vertical real estate is no picnic with bum wheels!
But I told my buddy I know why he wants me to hunt with him again...I'm the PERFECT companion for a griz country hunt...I can no longer outrun ANYBODY!!! :^)
I consider bears like dogs, there are good one and bad ones and read once where a retired wildlife office wrote - “There are good bears and bad bears”...
Working service daily in people homes, I’ve encounter literaly thousands of dogs and ran into my fair share of bad ones… It only takes ONE bad one to turn into a incident, and knowing my luck would be my turn… Just saying...
no way north and way west of yellowstone, most likely on the eastern edge of glacier park, what the locals would call the eastern front of the rockies. In my opinion the eastern front of the rockies has likely the highest density of bears around. GreatFalls, Browning, Choteau, Augusta, Lots of bears they were showing pictures of up to 10 Griz in one picture last fall. In the area where this likely happened.
I am going to guess it happened on the north end of the front, if it was midway down they would have gone to Great Falls hospital, and further south Helena hospital, to go to kalispell they must be close to Browning. oz
- First, good analogy. And as someone who worked in a boarding kennel for years as a child, I learned to read canine body language exceptionally well. I apply those lessons to bears, too, because it works. That stated, the "all it takes is one" rationalization can be applied to vehicular accidents, as well.
Has there been any more news on this one? Glad it turned out for the best from what we can tell.
And that's why I hunt Grizz country - because many others won't.

Yeah, sounds like this one was waiting on the dinner bell... There needs to be a season on them to put the fear of humans in them, hope Liz Chaney can get this accomplished...
