Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Grizzly killed 'experienced hiker' in Yellowstone.

This entire array of tourists attacked by wild animals in national parks and other areas is just the remnants of the liberal mindset.

Liberals view wild animals differently than you and I. They see them as extensions of house pets that live in a bigger back yard.

They re-introduce dangerous species in areas that have direct contact and conflict with humans.

Wolves, grizzlies and other dangerous predators have no warning bell in a liberal's mind.

That seems like quite a good question.

If it's self defense you likely WILL NOT be charged. However, a couple of elk hunters in Grand Teton National Park killed a grizzly that attacked them when they got too close in thick cover and dim light to where the bear had cached an elk kill. It took nearly a year for the USFWS and the Park Circus to determine that it was a defensive shoot. That's a long time, and a lot of billable hours for your attorney, to be twisting in the wind wondering what's going to happen. But at least they're alive.

By a slightly more experienced bear.
NPS saying today her cub may be involved so that's a second dead bear in Yellowstone.

Oh for f*ck's sakes...

Thanks for the link Shane - I heard about this last week but hadn't seen anything written up on it.

Really? I don't necessarily disagree. I've seen PLENTY of the Disney mindset when it comes to critters. Deer/bear/wolves playing together whilst butterflies circle their heads.

This doesn't sound like a sow defending her cub to me. The guy was partially eaten which sounds more like a predatory attack. When a sow is defending her cubs they usually incapacitate the intruder then leave the area. Momma frizz is teaching that cub bad habits as they both need to be put down.

Who we going to blame when a bow hunter or few get tuned up this season?

We don't even know the circumstances of this one, but it sure doesn't stop the wild speculation around here.

no...they plan to kill the bear and her cub ... Because of a worthless hiker.

They should sell a permit to take "the man eater" ,instead .gov is busy breaking old mining dams a wrecking rivers

Yes .... maybe Obummer can pass a law

If you are limited to a handgun better get a .500 S&W ... Grizzly are big.
As I think about this ... one time at the gun club, I was shooting a semi-auto called the Grizzly.
Seems to me it shot a .45MAG , it was neat handgun.

You have it exactly right, in fact i think i might post your comments on my facebook page. Few days ago on a local association page was discussion about reintroduction of wolves just north of prescott. Turned out it wasn't correct, but one of the posters not liking what i said posted something to the effect "we stole the wolves land, now have to give it back." just brain dead.

I doubt this bear and cub will be put down unless the attack was found to be predatory. Past defensive interactions have resulted in the bear being left alone. The guy I worked with was hiking up through/near huckleberry bushes when he jumped the sow and cub. She killed him, but she also had a snack and cached his body. She was left alone to raise her cub. Grizzlies are still predators. Yes, the threat precipitates the attack, but once dead it is not uncommon for the grizzly to feed and cache the remains.

When you look at the history of fatal grizzle attacks that were defensive, the bear will often feed on a solo victim.

Sarcasm icon on.....

No clue what the number things mean?

hashtag, its a twitter thing.

People are sometimes idiots. Bears are big and have large canine teeth. At least one of these facts came into play, maybe both.

You take your chances when you go into the woods, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think the law states the park has to abide by the gun laws in the state the park is in.

That is a small, but important difference.

For example I believe open carry is legal in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana so no matter where you are in Yellowstone (with the exception of federal buildings) you can open carry without a permit.

Or carry concealed in accordance with the concealed carry laws of whatever state you are in.
