I have had only one encounter with a grizzly and it was soon after I shot it. Turbine like 360's then out of view. My azz was as puckered as can be as we moved towards where we lost sight of him. Thankfully he was dead but I will never forget that feeling. Years later I was up close and personal hunting brown bear and I was not puckered at all.

You are allowed to carry a side arm in Montana while Archery Hunting. You just are not allowed to dispatch an animal with it. But may use it ANYTIME for self defense.If you have a CWP it can be out if sight.
So can shoot a person with it, but must pepper spray on bears?
Don't worry about it, stupid. You'll never venture this far regardless.

It only makes sense that you can shoot people but only spray bears. The world has way too many humans and not nearly enough bears. If you people would just read more you would understand. At least me and Deflave have it figured out.
I value my life more than a bear. Your call. I also carry a gun most places. I am not ok with 1 in 10k chance of needing it. Some people are ok with 1 in 100k chance their daughter is raper or wife killed. We all make choices, and roll the dice.
i stumbled on to the best bear protection by accident. took my BIL hunting and stuffed all my candy wrappers, sandwich wrappers etc into his pack while he was watering a bush. we split up and he left his pack at the branch of the trail. when we got back the pack was trashed . so from then on i always put a BLT sandwich in his pack before we go out. figure it gives me about 100% better chance because i can still out run (hobble?) him!

This wasn't the only coverage of the attack. According to other reports they did NOT shout at the bear before it charged, though they may have as it charged. One of the guys did have a handgun (legal in Montana when bowhunting) and drew it, but the bear knocked it out of his hand before he could shoot--which is when they tried to use pepper-spray.
Always love it when so many people who've never seen a grizzly talk about what the big handgun they'd be carrying in bear country--and how it would have solved the problem, pronto.
Also loved the comment from somebody who apparently didn't read this story, and assumed they were carrying rifles.
Your reading looks to be as bad as your writing Barness. The link provided says nothing about bowhunting.
I can't imagine standing there with a big game rifle in hand waiting on a charging bear with an already bloody muzzle to get close enough for me to spray it with the pepper spray I've never tested.
I can't imagine bowhunting with a big game rifle.
Not without a spotlight anyway.

I can't imagine trying to shoot a city elk with a 22-250 shell out of my 7-08 , but schitt happens.
I guess if I lived in PA I'd be pissed off every morning as well.
Chin up.

Geeze, take it easy on us PA guys. We can't all be held accountable for one shining example of a turd that runs his mouth when he has no clue what he's talking about.
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

You're a [bleep] retard. Bow season is the only season open right now. You ought to check facts before you start posting stupid scheit, otherwise you just look dumb.

Yeah, I screwed up by not reading this article thoroughly.
My only excuse is that I'd already read half-a-dozen other accounts of the attack, because it was big news here in Montana, and all the others mentioned they were bowhunting. So I didn't read this one thoroughly, and assumed it mentioned bowhunting because that would seem to be essential information, though apparently not to the reporter who wrote it. I apologize.

Well, glad that more informative articles were posted than the original one, which was certainly poor by comparison. A common flaw in so-called journalism these days.
