Dude was supposedly an anti bear hunt activist.
I know this was a situation of being too close to a cache, and not just happening onto it but some of the comments here are willfully ignorant. I have been humbled a few times as to how close a grizzly can get before you know he's there. Getting a couple shots off beforehand, even if your rifle is on your body isn't always feasible, if you're ready for it or not.
Got any proof that he was anti bear hunting activist, he was a guide and a hunter from what I find.
No, no proof. Just one of the first articles I had read had mentioned something about it and very possibly could have been bad info. He was a "backcountry guide" according to several articles but I have not read one yet stating that he was a hunter or hunting guide, just a fisherman, hiker, photographer and snowmachine guide.
There are some hunters who are also against hunting grizzly bears...but I suspect they're relatively rare. Nothing suprises me with the fruitloops in Yellowstone area anymore though.
