I didn't see where Jaguar said anyone had been prosecuted for a self defense shooting.

I haven't seen any reports of someone being convicted for shooting a grizzly in a flat out poaching case. I'm sure they are out there. If anyone has a link to some I'd be interested.
I know the game and fish was looking into the killing of grizzly I think last fall up by Pahaska, but I never heard if they charged someone.

My brothers have hunted northwestern Wyoming for years. Keep a clean camp, and keep your food hung high.
When you get an elk down, Quarter it and bag and hang the quarters away from the gut pile. They've actually started going gutless method and pack out the loins and backstraps on the first trip, then come back for quarters that they hang away from the kill site.
They've come back a couple of times to a disturbed kill site, but no issues with their meat because that carcass gets all the attention.
When you start packing, strap on a big caliber sidearm.

Weather the Feds charge you, with a crime for killing the grizz, or not it costs big bucks in Atty fees to defend your claim. The people, I have heard about, being charged by a grizz and living to tel the tale, have had to Lawyer up right quick, to keep from being charged. Long investigations, interviews of all people involved.

I found this case: http://missoulian.com/news/state-an...8a8f17c-6d3a-11df-92ae-001cc4c002e0.htmlGuy claimed self defense but the jury didn't buy it. I'd like to hear some first hand accounts from guys who have had to shoot in self defense. I don't know, but I have a feeling that the stories of having to "lawyer up" in real self defense cases may be a bit overblown. Maybe not.
