What (if any) are the general practices of guided outfitters in the NWT as it relates to defense from grizzly attacks?
Do guides typically carry a rifle in addition to the paying hunter?
If a grizz threatens people or property, it gets "dealt with".
Yes, absolutely. Don't even go to the outhouse without your rifle. And carry it in your hands. I had a close call while guiding, because my rifle was slung on my shoulder when I came nose-to-nose with a boar grizz at 10', late at night on my way to the can...
