I've never really been in Grizz Country, except for the rare visit out to Wyoming to see family. Here in Kentucky, the main problems are rabid animals, feral hogs, and black bears.

Last summer the husband of one of my sister's coworkers was mauled by a black over in the Red River Gorge but some other hikers were able to beat it off him (it took 175 stitches to close up his wounds). This past summer one of my coworkers was hiking up in the Knobs State Park when he was attacked by a rabid skunk, but he was able to kill it with his .357 before it reached him. And then this fall another friend was treed by a pack (or do you call it a herd?) of feral pigs over in Bernheim Forest. Fortunately he saw them when they were still a ways off and he shimmied up a tree to get out of their way.

Adolescent bears can get real crazy.
