I have an issue with a wounded Grizzley running amuck after the fact. Any experienced hunter would know this isn’t a good thing.
This is a long held opinion. There may be truth in it, but it is very hard to test.
How many bears, when hurt, will avoid the thing which hurt them? We know this happens in some cases. The bear was willing to attack a human at the beginning. Is it more or less likely to attack a human after being severely hurt by a human?
We know when wounded bears attack. We don't know when they avoid. So there is considerable selection bias.
So...what are the alternatives? Let the grizzly kill you to save others? Or perhaps hunt it down and kill it, thereby risking your life again?
Neither is good. I'll opt for saving my arse as this hunter did.
Result is better than a wounded bird hunter. The incident was properly reported to wildlife officials. Hopefully, they responded properly by having a professional hunter more appropriately armed go after the wounded bear soon after the incident. If the bear can't be found pretty quickly, it probably wasn't that injured but has a renewed respect for the capabilities of human beings after being frightened or wounded enough to break off its attack.
Yeah, but that’s just too bad. Hunter had to save his life, and it would have been retarded for him to pursue it with a bird hunting gun.
So it’s just a reality. No need for an issue.
