Beware 0f Grizzly attacks

People acting out Darwin's theory.
I have seen people walk towards Moose...They say God protects drunks and fools but, not always.

The grizzly population is estimated to be around 32,000. There are 8,200,000,000 humans on the planet. If the bears eat a few, I don't see a problem.

My suggestion for avoiding griz attacks is to stop wearing dinner bells and carrying condiments.

True, but when I was in Yellowstone National Park I had to take a bear safety training. One thing i remembered that shocked me was they had a grizzly leap up over 12' and pulled a person down and mauled them. If I remember correctly...

Given that the bear probably stood close to 8 feet tall and its paw reach adds another three feet, the idea of stopping your climb at 12 feet isn’t a smart move. God gave us a brain and free will. How we use it is up to us. More folks these days seem to ignore that.

That training class was almost 30 years ago. Might have been a lot higher just not sure now. But none the less I'm sure a griz can leap up and try an get you if he wants to. Years ago I read about a bear had a guy up a tree and the bear tried to get the guy down by shaking the tree. They are smart and not to be messed with.

I’ve traveled and camped alone many times in grizzly country. Sometimes for weeks at a time. I did about get eaten once by a bentonite mud hole in the Wind River Range!

Many years ago, I heard a story about the difference between black bear and grizzly scat. Black bears have traces of berries, grizzly has traces of bells and smells of hot peppers!

If a grizz can run down and kill an elk, something that looks like a small black bear in a tree probably seems like easy lunch.

Lee, was that in the TM basin? Headed up there Sunday to take a look for some bears.

I was in there probably 30+ years ago and there were grizzly in there then. Seems like they’re always around the area.

Theres G-bears in pretty much the western 2/3 of Montana now
