I know Wyoming is a beautiful state, but I just don't think I could live in an area where a walk in the woods could result in a grizzly attack.

How in the world did a grizzly get a rifle?

In first!?

I was hiking in Yellowstone, turned a corner and was standing 20ft from a 1200lb bison.
We backed up really slowly!

The grizzly met a grizzly end because he needed killin’. And it sounds like it happened in Idaho. Island Park is a half mile or so wide and 20 miles or more long on both sides of the highway between Yellowstone and Sugar City.

I absolutely hate the idea of killing bears. Pople could and should carry Bear Spray with them in those areas.

I have been to Glacier and Yellowstone areas about 10 times.

I’ve encountered Griz 8 of those times, anywhere from 50 feet to 1/4 mile.

I now carry a .357 with Buffalo Bore Hardcast, and can hit what I’m aiming for at 25 yards 4 out of 6 times while under great stress.

I might make it ….

Archery hunters shot and killed grizzlies in self-defense in the Island Park region

If an archer shot and killed a grizzly bear with a bow and arrow, then that would really be impressive.

Lived in grizzly area my entire life and Island Park is getting bad. My parents lived their for decades until their resent passing. There often were grizzlies on their property.

A Montanan told me just last week that all you need is a slow buddy and a pocketknife to survive a grizzly attack

Meanwhile, grizzlies are in hyperphagia this time of year, she said. That’s essentially a pig-out mode, during which they gorge on up to 20,000 calories a day, trying to pile on fat for winter hibernation.

C'mon! Grizzleys gotta eat, too.
