what about the FWP not seeing cubs or finding cub tracks? Would that even matter ?
I'm sure lots of encounters aren't released to th public, I'd be interested in seeing those metricsI wonder how many of these bear attacks we DON'T hear about?
Last itme I hunted that Yellowstone ecosystem area we were kicked out of an area because a bowhunter had wounded a Grizz.
I checked with F&G and forest service along with local news- no report, no info.
Kind of like negative lion encounters. I learned last week for it to be considered a lion attack it has to do bodily harm to you. If it stalks you and you kill it before it tears you up, it doesn’t get recorded as such.I'm sure lots of encounters aren't released to th public, I'd be interested in seeing those metrics
If that's the standard for recording I wouldn't trust any metric, very unfortunate to hear! How do you get the data on this?Kind of like negative lion encounters.

I think a few, especially those that don't result in a dead bear at the end of the blood trail.I wonder how many of these bear attacks we DON'T hear about?

Fantastic question I don’t have a clue, would be interested to see those numbers, I’d guess a few dozen every yearIf that's the standard for recording I wouldn't trust any metric, very unfortunate to hear! How do you get the data on this?
