A grizzly is just an extra-large mosquito...
I heard about this from Park rangers when I was in Alaska last week. Lots of bear activity this year. I saw about 10 of them in a short time.
What the heck kind of Husky cowers behind a grandma? More like a Yorki.
UPDATE! ABC News Ace Investigative Report Brian Ross has uncovered that there are several members of the ‘Alaskan Tea Party’ with he name of Bear. Let’s all hope he stays on this story!
Wow, she is kinda hot looking, and only 300 miles north of me!
Those poor girls. They’re gonna go through life with nobody ever believing them.... :-)
Hiking in grizzly country without TWO large cans of bear spray on each person? No thanks.
Kudos to author Mowry for correctly writing “The two girls were troupers.” “Journalists” these days regularly confuse them with soldiers or state police officers.
“(Ranger) Happ advised against leaving backpacks or food behind if confronted by a bear because it habituates them to humans.”
So he’s saying that it’s better to let the bear rip you apart for the food. This guy seems more interested in the welfare of bears than he does the welfare of people.
He needs to be fired.
LOL Same thing I was thinking as I read the article.
I wonder if they make natural bear repellent?
Great O-Henry-style ending.
Being unarmed in such an area is unwise.
I hope she bought at least a .44 Remington Magnum.
Two words.......Marlin 45-70.
For an English professor, her narrative of the event is the most stupid and convoluted crap I have read to date.
Not to mention the headline is misleading as all get out. She states she had early on used bear spray on the bear to no avail. But her au natural bug spray had nothing to do with fending off the attack, now if she had been using industrial strength wasp and hornet spray, I could believe it deterred said bear.
