“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.”

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.

Absolutely! Following a wounded grizzly into thick cover is one of the scariest things I can imagine! Sounds like they were not well prepared for that.
