Some guy backpacking near Franc's Peak got mauled. I can see Franc's out the window of my office and done a lot of hunting in that area. Bear AttackWhen rescuers arrived at the beacon signal source, they found a 68-year-old male from Buffalo, New York, on a multi-day backpacking trip, who had encountered a grizzly bear and was severely mauled. The attack had happened too quickly to deploy bear spray, which he did have. The patient was quickly loaded in the Huey and flown to a landing zone in the Wood River area, where he was transferred to the Guardian Medical Helicopter and transported to Billings, Montana for treatment. Sound like he had bear spray but no gun. The location is behind the orange hat.

Actually I heard there were two in the area last week. The one John referenced and another one down lower but not near as bad of injuries.

amazing πππππ In plain English, ribka's just a low down, stinking, hemorrhoid infested, bitter old ass hole who thinks he knows all about everything and everybody. You'd think he was from New Jersey or something. Anybody know if he has that stupid Jersey accent ? Those dumb fuucks can never seem to shake it.

Any idea how far that 68yo guy had to hike in? That looks like difficult terrain.

Two grizzly attacks in the Island Park unit Idaho while I was archery elk hunting last year in September. I saw two walk by from my tree stand about 50 yards away
One grizzly attack a few miles north of me last week on two bear hunters
Maybe I should have reported it on here and put a pic of me and a marlin I caught and tried to sell something

The adolescent jealously displayed by those that wasted their lives doing nothing is abundant here.
They have now grown too old and weak to do anything other that read of others adventures and live through their realities.
They read with envy and resort to belittling with some sorta hope of burying the shortcomings of their own wasted lives.

Another poster a short while back properly labeled him as a piece of human dog scchitt. Your description and the earlier one brought good laughs!

Any idea how far that 68yo guy had to hike in? That looks like difficult terrain. Meadow Creek Basin is right off Taco's nose and there is a good trail from the bottom, Wood River, right to the spot where those news pictures were taken. I have pictures of me and Taco within a hundered yard or so of the news pictures and on a strong mule you can be there in a few hours with a lunch break. The picture in my avatar is on the north slope of Franc's peak and the attack was on the south side. Lots of quicksand on that flat during the summer. It's not unusual to see a dozen bears up there in the right few week of the larva hatch.
