You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel

Always be armed with a firearm that will do the job quickly. If a wild animal doesn't run when it sees a human - shoot it and go on about your business.

I am not a fan of them or wolves. We wiped them out for a reason.
While the bears are certainly more dangerous…..I’d rather have them than the d&$# wolves. Bear populations are much easier to manage (if done properly) and bears aren’t known for “thrill kills”, unlike a [bleep] wolf pack! memtb

Lucky young men for sure but why would they go hiking in the middle of hunting season in the mountains with grizz? This time of the year they look at humans as free food during hunting season.
Hope they have a full recovery and should be friends for life after this.

Getting to be fewer and fewer mountains out that way that don’t have those bears.

A woman's heart is the hardest rock the Almighty has put on this earth and I can find no sign on it.
They need to open grizzly season there! Guy I wirked with got attacked by a young grizzly, approximately 300lbs. Got him in hand and shin up by meteetsee area.
This happened in the drainage I shot my first deer. One of these kids is in a college class with my son. I have seen some photos of the kids after the attack. Looks like a horror movie. I don't know how the kid could even see through the blood. It is easy to armchair quarter back these things but I would love to hear since it sounds like they all had bear spray why the kid didn't mace the bear in the face when he was on top of his friend. I am guessing he either didn't have bear spray or when it all happens so fast was in action mode and didn't even think of the bear spray and just jumped on the bear. Either way was gutsy grabbing the bear by the ear. The bear put the hurting on him though.
As far as why hiking during hunting season isn't that basically what all the hunters are doing? There are so many bears around here going anywhere to enjoy the outdoors brings some risk. Many people are fishing as well as hiking this time of year not just hunting.
