For those of you who like to visit Western Montana.....
The story is that one of the Indian tribes came down with one of the illnesses their immune system wasn’t ready for.
It wiped out the village.
Grizzlies are scavengers.
They fed on the dead Indians.
Those Grizzlies came to like the flesh of humans.
I’m not saying that Grizzlies in Western Montana developed a gene that makes them crave human flesh, but I never give them the chance to prove that theory.
Bwahahahahahaha!
Welcome to Big Sky Country!
An inordinate amount of Lewis and Clark journals were devoted to Grizzly bear encounters. They felt like they couldn’t adequately communicate to easterners how much worse a griz was than a black bear.
Carrying both is very smart.
