God gave us brains to protect ourselves. Grizzlys? The worst I have in WV are bobcats and black bears and keep a firearm handy. I’m not taking chances with those things, especially if I see cubs.
Ever had to draw on one; they’re all over the place I’ve seen just on driving through
My first thought was - a grizzly mama bear with a cub. If the cub was closer to the people than it is to it’s mother mama will attack.
Out west the Moose are more dangerous than black bears in my experience. Elk and deer will stomp you if you corner them. I never see Grizz. But I keep pepper spray and the 45-70 handy.
I’ve read black bear attacks are more frequent than grizzly bear attacks. Maybe that’s true years ago. With all the grizzly control out here in the Yellowstone area. We have more grizzlies and more people. Ya do the math viola! These things happen. I was an avid elk hunter in my younger years. There were certain areas you were more alert in than others. Now days on the southeast side of Idaho you better have your head outa your butt. We got grizzlies and they eat elk too.
