The bear didn’t pull the trigger.

If they couldn’t tell the difference between a black bear and a grizzly, they shouldn’t have been hunting.

What difference does it make what kind of frickin’ bear it was, it was attacking the guy wasn’t it? If it didn’t attack the guy would still be alive. If someone was beating a friend of yours to death with a club and you shot at him to protect your friend but hit your friend instead would you think that the perp wasn’t responsible? Of course he was, just as the bear was responsible in this case. It is just too bad the guy didn’t get a grip on his nerves and step in close to finish the bear and not kill his friend.

Bingo...

I get more nervous every year with all of the out of state hunters coming up here for their first BIG HUNT.

If a Grizzly charges you from cover 20 feet away you won’t have time to crap your pants let alone draw a weapon. Bears move frighteningly fast.

I have a beautiful bear rug. It is the same color as a grizzly bear, could easily be mistaken for a baby grizzly but its a black bear specis. I shot this bear in Colorado some years ago with a bow and arrow. I understand a large percentage of the black bear population in Colorado are other than black. At least they were at that time.
