“where grizzlies are lumbering about, a .44 magnum could be part of the well-equipped Wyoming angler’s kit”
We don’t have grizzlies, but a momma with her babies is nothing you want to mess with. Let’s just say, this was one of “those” laws.
We do not have grizzlies in my neck of the woods, but when we venture out from home, we are always armed for similar reasons. However, most of the predators we might encounter are of the two-legged type.
This article should be “Wyoming Anglers talking stupid”.
Wyoming doesnt deal with the number of Fudds and communists causing problems for proper regulation that Wisconsin does.
And that doesnt really speak to their foolish comments about grizzlies.
Wisconsin doesnt have grizzlies but we do have black bears. Our black bears grow to unusual size and our black bears are known to regularly reach and often exceed the size of a normal non-NW’ern brown bear. Black bears are often more aggressive and more likely to attack humans because they have often lost their fear of humans due to regular interaction.
Carrying a pistol to protect yourself from Wyoming grizzlies but not being concerned about Wisconsin black bears is like walking through a ghetto wearing your body armor on your head to protect yourself from meteors.
