Grizzly attacks two women out for a hike

Wildlife officials are not even sure that only one bear was involved. The mother was from Alaska, so it is likely she would know about bears.

Grizzlies are not to be taken lightly, some defensive weaponry should be carried.

Grim details emerge after woman and daughter killed by suspected grizzly bear in Canada

The delay in finding the remains of the two women was complicated by difficult terrain and the grizzly bear's behavior.

That’s really horrible especially when it more than likely have been avoided. We have black bears around here they are a step above a teddy bear but there has been time they did attack and the bears had to be put down. I have a firearm on me whenever I walk out my front door if in the deep woods I’ll carry my 10mm or 44 magnum especially if I have grandkids with me. I would carry a rifle if I could but being on WMA and National Forests the game wardens frown on that. Again being complacent has a high price to pay.

Don't you believe it. Black bear attacks are extremely rare, but they do happen. Blacks live in closer proximity to humans and have a naturel aversion to dogs and often associate dogs with humans. I firmly believe that part of the problem is bears cougars, wolves, etc. are losing their fear of man. Thank you, Disney, educated tree huggers. Many of whom have wormed their way into state wildlife agencies.
 
I've been in Montana grizz country a few times. There are so many of those monsters on the Rocky Mountain front west of Augusta, that they've posted bear warning signs in the most dangerous areas. Think of being attacked by the meanest pit bull there is, but weighing around 800 pounds or more. No thanks!

These are two of the best books I have ever read about bears. The one on the left was written by a guy that's recognized as THE expert on bear attacks, he literally wrote the book on it.

A lot of people don't like him because his point of view is that it's usually the human's fault that the bear attacked them.

IDK if I'm willing to go that far but I've seen some pretty stupid humans around bears.

In the second book there is a story, they have these things in Yellowstone called "Bear Jams" and what it is is somebody sees a bear on the side of the road and gets out to take a picture and everybody piles up behind them and does the same thing.

In the story I'm talking about, a ranger talks about how she watched a guy get out of his car walk up to a grizzly bear and touch its ***. She said she was absolutely shocked that the bear didn't kill him on the spot.

She said that she had to walk up behind him And call him off the bear. They backed away from the bear while she explained why he was phenomenally stupid. She said the whole time she was waiting for an attack.

I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve that story. People are stupid.

Which is also why I don't believe in the theory of evolution.

Are you able to carry a firearm, or have bear spray in Canada?

The second book is like 10 or 15 years old but when it was written you were permitted to carry bear spray in the woods in Canada. I was going to say "In Bear Country" but that's kind of all of Canada

I Have Been Told I'm not going to say this right but if a black bear attacks you regardless of the reason they tend to prey on you, where if a grizzly bear attacks you it just wants you to go away and as soon as you're not a threat it's satisfied.

That's why they say if it's brown lay down and if it's black fight back.
 
We made a trip to Yellowstone back in June 1987. We were tent camping , all we had , so I took the biggest revolver I had . A .357 mag. with 180 grain FMJ ammo. I figured if a big bear was chewing on my feet , I was going to be pumping lead into his head.

The gun was only loaded in the tent. All other times it was unloaded and in the trunk of the car.
