Stay out of the Gravelly Mountains. From CNN this morning:

A grizzly bear attacked a hunter in Montana not far from where three other people were injured in two separate attacks last week, wildlife officials said.

The latest attack happened Tuesday while the unidentified Ohio man was hunting in the western Gravelly Mountains, the Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks said in a statement. The man survived and was treated at a local hospital, officials said.
He was walking through blow-down timber when the bear attacked from a close range.

Isnt that the risk you take if you hunt there? Its no

different if hunting Kudu in the same location where elephants roam......you could be stomped by an elephant. If you fish in the river where croc's live.....etc etc. Hunters know the risks of hunting in griz country...but it always happens to someone else, right?

Bear attacked by scratching post

The idea of cats don't bother me much, African Buffalo neither. I've been around mean cows and in my mind at least I'm at ease. It must be some Freudian thing from youth and that old movie "Night of the Grizzly" that frightens me so. I tried to overcome it on that Alaskan trip but it only validated my personal anxiety. I have great and new found respect for Bruin.

I really like that old movie!

I have taken 5 of them thru the years, 3 of them at kissing distance, one sitting on my chest. I didn't have a problem with my Cape Buffalo. Elephant make me a bit nervous. And I hate snakes with a passion. Pissed off ex wives that own guns give me the shakes too.

LMAO
