In predator country wouldn't it be prudent to have someone with arms in hand standing security watch while the kill is being gutted?
What a terrible way to go. Death, most likely came very slowly.
Were these among the grizzlies that would have been hunted in the court-halted grizzly hunt?
Bears are evolutionary. Each generation seems to know to look for fresh meat after hearing gunshots. Guides should know this.

My condolences to the deceased's family.
Walked up on an Elk kill. A “grizz” reared up -—— OMG!
I very calmly back out as did my partner. Notice: “I back out.” We thought we were dead or in real trouble.
That “grizz” was 8’ tall!
Just had a thread about an experienced guide who almost got killed by a 400 LB black bear. Every day is normal until suddenly it’s not.

I had a nightmare once. I had been doing some target practice with a .22 pistol. I was being stalked by a grizzly. I’m sure the nightmare was caused by reading a story like this in American Rifleman or somewhere.

The Hunters got Hunted. Oh, well.
The bereaved elk family is enjoying a good laugh.
Absolutely. Like it or not you are in competition with other predators for your kill.
Too many bears. Thanks too many leftie , emotional Judges.
