so you didnt have the meat inside the bear fence with your tent or you did? did those other guys have a bear fence? The fence isnt going to be completely perfect bear proof, but atleast you're putting the odds in your favor a little more. Did you keep the antlers and hide right next to the meat also?I did. That’s why I had a bear fence.
Two guys had the entire side of their tent ripped open 2 weeks prior and had to dispatch the bear. They didn’t have any meat and it was their first legal day of hunting. They spotted him from where they were glassing from. Then they got hit by a blizzard within the hour. Thankfully they had a tarp to cover the tent. One guy went with out sleeping bag for 3 days bc his was wet. After 4 days the visibility got good enough that the pilot was able to fly by and drop supplies out of his window bc they were low on food.
Sorry, no animal is worth the risk of losing shelter in that situation and environment with my wife who was also dealing with strep throat at the time. Is what it is. We did the best we could. Even moved the meat the second day in hopes of salvaging what was left. Below picture is next morning after moving the meat.
Everything always works and is fine until it isn’t. I won’t be taking unnecessary risks that far from help and in that environment. Not to mention having a $1200 tent and thousands of dollars worth of gear destroyed.
