And yet again, another grizzly shot while charging hunter in Idaho

Tough to co-exist with a critter that is intolerant. Maybe if you kill all the cranky ones the species will evolve into a more tolerant one.

Anyone that loves the grizzly needs to be given a cow moose for a yard pet.

Good policy for humans too.

Man read my recent thread. I think there are a lot more close encounters that are never reported. I had two in three days in NW WY after not really taking it very seriously and then starting to wonder when that dude from GA got chewed on.

I have thousands of miles in the Alaskan backcountry and have been within a stone's throw of brown bears more times than I can count. Out by Yellowstone a few weeks ago was the first time in my life I've ever had a really bad feeling about both the number and disposition of bears.

Way more encounters than reported! A small fraction (just the ones that involve dead bears) make the news. I hunt and know a lot of other hunters that hunt the unit, and most of them have grizzly stories. I ran into my first this year, about 5 miles from this spot. Definitely have to stay alert these days!!!
