Quote HistoryQuoted: Rifles and shotguns are allowed when hiking in Canada, except in National Parks, i.e Banff. Which is mostly where the bears are. What’s the penalty for valuing your life over their stupid laws? Can’t you just conceal a handgun there instead of visibly carrying a shotgun or rifle, who would know, isn’t it out in the middle of nowhere? Didn’t a hunter in Canada a few years ago kill a bear with a handgun he was packing, I think a Sig .45, and from what people said that’s a big no no there? Whatever happened to him? |

They had a warning sign
 The area. The Red Deer River Valley  Lisa Dahlseide, a conservation biologist, said, “Their attacks are extremely unusual. They do not happen very often at all. “This time of year when they’re eating, they’re trying to fatten up. “That food is so critical, preparing for hibernation. They might’ve felt their food source was being threatened, even if it wasn’t.” Merle Fox, a trail guide and owner of Sunset Guiding and Outfitters, said food sources for bears are a lot less this year compared to previous years. According to Fox, bears typically rely on berries throughout the fall. “There are no berries for them … They’re probably going for other things like deer, young elk, a lot of wild horses,” she told Global News. “They are just trying to find whatever they can eat right now. It’s the time of the year when they fill up and they are eating whatever they can eat. “People need to be on guard now.” Link |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm curious, to those who live in Grizzly country, are they as hated as wolves are to ranchers? Are there protections if you shoot a grizzly that's attacking your livestock? Having no experience with anything beyond black bears, I just assume grizzlies are assholes and everyone hates them. No grizzlies here but it's 100% legal to shoot a black bear that is messing with your dog , livestock or property |

Thats what happens when you mess with Griz.
I posted in the other bear thread a few days ago but Ill reiterate what Im seeing here. We are in scouting phase of our hunting here in North Idaho, Near Montana and Canadian border so we are spending time out in the bush and this is the strangest year yet. Ton of bear movement all over the place. Grizzly tracks everywhere. Black bears are acting different as well. Had a large sow and two cubs in my orchard who when shouted out from a distance to leave dropped out of the tree and charged me last week. She got within 30 meters when I put a shotgun blast into the ground between us and she changed direction and bolted. They usually can be run off by yelling at them but she seemed to think defensively due to her cubs. Been coming around for a few weeks. Not my first charge but I can tell you it's scary and they move FAST. Back country hunting I due carry a 45 cal but the only gun I trust is a SBS 12 gauge and slugs. Be safe out there if your in the sticks, some years are worse than others but this season is already showing some super aggressive bear activity.

People hiking (not hunting) with long guns strapped over their shoulders? Fuck that shit. That's for war zones, not hikes. I have lots of slugs for my 12 gauge, but it would strictly be for car camping. No point in it when I can have a handgun on me at all times. Serious question, how long ago did Canada lose its mind over handguns? |

I like nature and all that, but grizzlies tend to make me understand why the early settlers dealt with them harshly.
Now they want to reintroduce them to WA state. Nah- we are doing fine with plenty of the little ones thanks. Don’t need a giant man eating predator that can run as fast as a car…. The video of the one going after the boat was interesting. Good thing they were were moving quick or it might have actually ripped someone off the boat. I would have fucking loaded up, snuck back downriver slowly, and plugged him just for trying… |

Quote HistoryGrizzlies generally don't eat people, or kill/maul them without feeling threatened. But once in a while... We had a case years ago where a guy was sleeping in his tent (in a campground where others were camping) and a sow ripped into his tent, dragged him out, and killed him. She had her two cubs with her. FWP found her, euthanized her, and her cubs were sent to a zoo. Thankfully that's an exception with bear encounters. Griz don't eat people unless they're messed-up in the head. Black bears are the ones known to eat people, but I'm skeptical that it happens very often. Long before that I began sleeping with a .44mag and a flashlight under my pillow. Another thing that I ALWAYS do when tent camping is to pitch my tent in a group of trees (which helps with rain runoff as well). I then grab my 50 yard spool of camo paracord and run it around the perimeter of said trees at thigh-level, and then clip a bell in the middle of the line 5between each set of trees. I do that even when my wife and our Akita are with me, but especially when solo camping. I sleep very light, so a jingle would get my immediate attention. I figure that my security precautions are good for both two-legged and four-legged predators. Or maybe even just keep a moose from tiptoeing through my site (had a cow and two calf moose wander through my site many years ago). |

One of our part time neighbors was up working on his cabin. I stopped to say Hi and see how he was doing. We got to talking about hunting in general and he tells me about hunting deer on Kodiak Island back in the day. I look around him, he gives me a ? look and I tell him I'm looking for where the bear chewed your butt. He says, You must be thinking of my father. My turn to give a ? look. The above is the father. |
