The companion froze, not knowing what to do. Neither man was carrying bear spray, a firearm or a cellphone.
How is this possible for two "forest service cops"?????

But not to many people like the FACTS as they come out! It was either Field and Stream or Outdoor life that did a feature on the findings years ago. Then again it was just black bear findings. Grizzly's were not on the ESL or even being conceived as being re-introduced! :bdid:

There was another thread on this back when it happened. Get ready, WA. We'll be installing some of these bicycle speed bumps very soon. :bash:
And most don't carry, snacks on wheels.

While it is true that he collided with the bear..................the "other man" was not a man at all.
It was his young son who went for help after seeing his dad attacked.
He wasn't a "COP" that day.........................he was a father.

Hummmmm another "studied" bear! Maybe the powers that be with this bear should have "studied" the findings about "bears" and how they "act" AFTER they've been STUDIED!!!! :o

I'd be more concerned about how a Grizz acts when it takes a high speed mountain bike rib check. Apparently they don't seem to take it well.
