And a Liberal Judge suspended the Grizzly hunt. There's too damned many Grizzlies around for the available habitat. Prayers that the guide is found alive and for the hunter's recovery.

Damn.

I use to tell my pard in Alaska, 'Don't worry about hitting me with a bullet if a bear is eating me. I'll be more pissed if you let me be eaten.'

Damn.

Prayers on the way.

Yes Prayers sent from Michigan!

Prayers sent.

This is exactly why the bear huggers do what they do. They want human interactions that dissuade anyone from using the land. Especially hunters.

Alot more care is needed today as grizzly populations increase all over so be extra careful even in area's where they previously haven't been known to inhabit. Prayers for a speedy recovery and the guide is found safe.

Several years ago there was an organization called People for the West or something like that. Don't know if they are still active but one of their premises was there is an ongoing effort in government to get people out of rural areas and concentrate the population along the interstate highway system. The goal is to make it easier to control the population. Endangered species, public land grabs and many other tools enter into this.

Sad news for sure. Prayers sent.

why in the hell would he throw the damn gun instead of using it.... dumb ass.

Yeah, for sure. That was a difficult part of the story to grasp.

JACKSON HOLE, WYO – Two hunters were involved in a bear attack Friday, September 14, in the Teton Wilderness while field dressing an elk near Terrace Mountain, approximately 5.8 miles northeast of the Turpin Meadow Trailhead.

Florida resident Corey Chubon shot an elk during a guided bow hunt late Thursday afternoon. He and his guide, Mark Uptain of Martin Outfitters, were unable to locate the wounded animal before nightfall. The pair returned Friday morning to locate and remove the elk. They found the undisturbed carcass in the early afternoon and were preparing to pack out the elk when they were aggressively charged by two large bears.
Mark Uptain, 37, is owner of Blue Sky Restoration and the guide still missing.

Chubon was able to run to his pack a few yards away and retrieve a pistol but was unable to safely fire a shot at the bear that had pounced upon Uptain. The attacking bear then spun, charged Chubon, grabbed his foot and dragged him to the ground. He sustained injuries to his leg, chest, and arm, but was able to throw the gun to Uptain and get loose before running from the scene to phone for help.

Initial reports indicate that the second bear did not engage either Chubon or Uptain.

An interagency helicopter was dispatched to the scene to assist with transport of the injured hunters. Chubon was taken to St. John’s Medical Center for treatment to his wounds. Search and Rescue personnel were unable to locate Uptain before the search was suspended for the evening.

An interagency team from the Teton County Sheriff’s Office, Teton County Search and Rescue, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Grand Teton National Park, and Bridger-Teton National Forest have resumed the search at 6:30am this morning. Game wardens will look for evidence that may indicate if the bears were grizzlies.

Undersheriff Matt Carr stated, “Search and Rescue is currently in the field, and we’re making every effort to locate and bring Mr. Uptain out from the backcountry.”

An incident command post and helicopter landing zone has been established near Turpin Meadow Ranch. Ground and air resources are being utilized for this search and updates will be provided as available. Other hunters in the area should be aware of the search and rescue operations and the recent bear activity.

Wow, we are Headed to Jackson at the end of the month to do some hiking. The Glock will be on my chest not in my pack. I hope my wife doesn't hear about this.

Sure hope they find him alive. I have not heard of that outfit but that is the trailhead we use. Poor guy, attacked and then left.

Natos agenda 21, it's real and the long list of US politician s who signed on is frightening. They may have changed the name as lots of people because aware of the plan.

God's speed for those hunters recovery.

"Catch, I'm outta here'

Pard who is a guide in WY underwent surgery #8 this week since being attacked by a grizz last season while dressing his clients elk. Pretty much an identical scenario, those bears aren’t stupid and know where to find an easy meal. Point being when you put an animal down in bear country and set out to field dress it, someone needs to be standing guard attentively with a rifle. My pard was rushed and set upon in a flash, the fuggers are fast.

Google Jonathan Sheets, newspapers out of Cody did multiple stories, some interesting reading.

tossed him the pistol wtf...
