The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

I was camping there in 1980 when 2 people got killed by a Griz,...about a mile from where I was camped.

I walked on grizzly trails in Alaska. A lot. I don't remember getting killed. YMMV.

Sad the guy was killed, terrible, but what kinda LE officer rides his mountain bike where he darn well knows bears are, without a gun?

The bear knocked Treat off his bike, and the second rider left to look for help, Curry said.

"WHERE YOU GOING BRRR..." I always tell my hunting buddy, I dont have to out run the bear, I just have to out run you. People ask what is the right caliber for bear, I tell them what ever I have on hand at the time. Just put a cap in your partners knee.

I worked one summer in college in Glacier and one of my co-workers was killed by a griz near Many Glacier. He was off-trail, hiking alone through huckleberry bushes trying to get to a cave he saw on a map and jumped a sow and cubs. They found his body a couple weeks later. Bear activity was extremely high that summer - I went to go hike the Highline trail multiple times and it was shut down due to high bear activity.

Is open or concealed carry a regular practice in Glacier? Headed there this summer.
