Here are before and after pictures that show the power of a grizzly and how little anything, including a tree, will slow him down. Notice the trees in the foreground when the elk was first buried and how they aren't there anymore...
They do look big. I was talking to a fellow hunter yesterday about the local grizzly population around here, he said he saw one burying a carcass about 8 years ago in a logging block. He went back in there for a look, and it had a black bear buried, he said he wasn't sure if the grizzly had killed the black bear or not.
I posted a thread earlier that got polluted with idiotic innuendo. This is a clean pictorial of how quick a few Grizzlies can consume a full sized bull elk. If you think that Alaska has all the big bears, you might want to think again...
I put a camera on an elk cow here and just getting ravens and mag pies. Have yet to get a griz on a game camera
I bet you all in that country are careful. It probably wouldn’t be good to walk up on one, startle him or her. Do you walk out at night to a hunting spot?? What about a kill after dark?? The only thing down here that concerns is walking up on a big feral pig sow with babies. I put an arrow in a piglet once, bitch went crazy. I wear a sidearm just for that, probably couldn’t hit cshit, but maybe the noise will scare them..

I do wear a revolver and bear spray, but when you look at the size of that bear, you lose confidence in the gun and never had any confidence in the bear spray..

No kidding.
The walking sticks with bells attached that REI sells to the granola/yogurt/Subaru/armpit hair crowd kinda cracks me up.
What you need is a good pair of Nikes, and a hiking companion with flip flops.
Awesome pictures of some big bears….even for Montana.jk. 👍
They are awe inspiring when encountered in their natural habitat and just about anything you carry for a firearm seems small. I do love having the wild places that they inhabit and without those top tiered predators those places wouldn’t be wild.
Great thread Shrap. 👍
