Montana solo options

[aks]

Heading to southwest Montana for my first hunt in Grizzly country. Trying to decide if truck camping is better than packing it in and spiking from a grizz standpoint. Thoughts, suggestions?

I backpack, hunt, hike, camp all in grizz country. Take the normal precautions and you'll be fine 99% of the time.
With that being said, there's always a few grizzly encounters every hunting season out here that makes the news. Either a hunter killing a grizz or a grizz attacking a hunter. That's not including the encounters that go unreported.
I usually encounter 2 - 3 grizzlies a year but I'm in the mountains probably 100 days a year.
Send me a message and I'll help you out a bit more if you need.
I posted this in another bear question but since your asking about grizzlies. Here's an interview my friend did with a guy who had to shoot and kill a charging grizz. Pretty crazy story.

I do as well, but in Alaska. I actually enjoy going solo. No last-minute cancellations, complaining, or cutting the hunt short.

Yep, I definitely feel the same.

In my opinion you’re not in nearly as much danger at camp as you are while out actually hunting, so it doesn’t make much difference.
