Yellowstone Grizzly - insane closeups!

[popeshawnpaul]

In all seriousness, I saw a bear guy spray one from a ways away on tv and those grizz just backed the f-off real quick.  It gave me confidence in it but man, I want a gun for some reason.  At least I can die happy knowing I'm being eaten but it's my fault because I didn't shoot it in time...

Between your pics and watching that bear show last night, I'm getting a hankerin.

Man...I know a guy that had to drill one about 9 days ago here in MT... he had a 7mm and counts himself lucky as hell... I too carry a gun... but I am not sure I shouldn't start carrying spray.....

Great pics Tom!!!!!

I carry bear spray whenever I go someplace I might have an encounter.  I had a "significant emotional event" with a griz and her cub in Yellowstone when I was a teenager.  The bears turned out to be merely curious, and they released me untouched (much like a trout-come to think of it).  But I carry spray now...
