WARNING, if you are the LEAST bit squeamish, do not open the link, it is a bear mauling/killing in Alaska of two campers.  Very graphic stuff.  I stumbled onto this site trying to find information out about the hiker who was mauled yesterday near West Yellowstone.  That guy has a busted arm and some puncture wounds but is expected to be ok.  These two were not so lucky.

 :yike:uhhhhhh yea, they had a .300 with them and not a shot fired.  A big handgun (.44 mag with 300 gr. softpoints) would have made better sense, but to each their own.  :twocents: 

Would like to read the official report on that one though.  See if they did everything right or left food and stuff out for the bear to smell and bring it in.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I've slept with my pistol up at elk camp in the wilderness...Then one night one of my buds gets hungry and starts to raid the groceries outside of the tent...Then the tent wiggled...I am glad we screamed first...then he screamed and we didn't shoot him..fortunately...He scared the poo out of us but I think he had to change his shorts too.. :yike:..we then had new rules in camp... :chuckle:  Nothing like the fear of a Griz..
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

We were sleeping in our tent near our elk spot by Kachess and had something brush the tent hard enough to move it. It scared the living *censored* out of us. I sat with the gun cocked and ready to rock for at least a half hour. Many big bears and cougs where we used to hunt.

One night several years ago in Bunch Grass Meadows up in the NE part of the state, I helped my friend pack a mid-size bear out.  I was pretty wore out when we were all done.  I was in my sleeping bag laying on my stomach daydreaming about bears when something from outside the tent put a paw on my shoulder.  I was half asleep and yelled and pushed it away.  It then jumped right square on top of me.  I was shouting and throwing my arms up trying to push it off me.  I could hear my hunting partner start laughing.  I woke the rest of the way up.  The tent was about 2 feet tall.  It had snowed pretty hard during the night and the tent and fiberglass poles were sagging.  Scared me pretty good.    :chuckle: :chuckle:

Plenty of Grizzlies up round bunch grass.  I had one follow me just west of there on Molybdenite.

Only time I ever thought I might actually get charged was on the trail from Grassy Top Mtn to Pass Creek Pass.  I cannot say 100% it was a grizzly, but when it spun away and ran off a 14 foot, 3 inch sapling snapped out of sight and then popped back up.  I am fairly convinced it wasn't a black bear.  I have found scat and one set of tracks not far from Molybdebite.
