Said they’d just moved to Alaska (no idea where from or where to in Alaska). Most people today have literally NO concept of themselves being considered “prey”. Zero idea of the potential dangers in wild areas. I always carry an SD firearm, but when I’m in wilderness areas that will be a LOT heavier caliber than what’s on my hip at home-in the toolies out west it’s a 69 Smith 4.25 barreled .44 Mag. In the east it’s more likely a 3” Smith 357. In NO walks am I totally unarmed. I’m not ever looking for trouble, but I do intend to beat least minimally prepared to defend myself and mine.

It's a terrible out come and one can only imagine the night terrors the woman will have to endure. I have lived and worked in the high country and only dellt with black bears. The early days I carried a 45 LC later years was a 41 mag

They may rethink living in AK and move back to the lower 48 after that

Job rated, my old red Dodge pickup hauled a lot of wood for my stove and fireplace

A jogger was killed by a Griz outside of West Yellowstone, MT a couple years ago.

A woman from Iowa died in Glacier NP the other day, and a few others have died there also this year, with some having to be rescued also.

Another woman got chewed on my a Griz in Glacier NP last week.

And Out-of-state hunters get chewed on by Griz.

We also have outsiders go swimming or boating in unsafe high-water conditions and don't make it.

Too many newbies & tourists think the Northern Rockies are like Disneyland, and should be much more aware where & what they're doing in the Region than in the more sedate parts of the country.

Wife and I are en route to Montana now in the camper. Well do some boondocks camping and some trail walking. 12 gauge 590 and 69 Smith .44 on board

People these days think it won't happen to me. Once people see this story I bet gunshops will be busy. Very rarely do I ever leave the house unarmed.
