Its an out of control situation. . I guide in the Teton Wilderness, and dont go a day without running into at least one bear. Towards the end of season and snow on the ground I would constantly see 2-3 different griz a day. This is also covering a ton of area and none of the bears are the same. We had many close encounters this year. My first 2 clients bulls were taken by a griz when i went back to pack them out. He had eaten both gut piles, part of a shoulder and rolled the other bull around. He wasnt there when i arrived but after about 15 minutes he came back in and with the help of my other packer and both clients we kept him away long enough to load up the mules and get out. They have no fear and its a matter of time before the amount of attacks continue to rise and turn into deaths. There was a good friend of mine guiding this fall who had to kill a Sow who charged. . This incident did not make the papers because of the amount of turmoil the anti's would bring up. The game warden and bear investigator deemed it a necessary kill and all legal steps were taken after he had to shoot her. His hunter unloaded bear spray which did not slow her, his first shot from his .45/70 went under her belly, she then turned and charged again from another direction and at 10 feet he had to shoot from his hip...she then charged 3 more separate times each time being hit with a round from his gun. She finally went down after 5 charges, 4 hits from a .45/70 and another shot from his clients rifle. . It was a situation that he would have much rather not been in, but when it came down to it, there was no other choice. Its hard for me to describe what we run into on a daily basis, but it is out of control and truly unbelievable at times. Its unfortunate the government made this decision, I would love to take a group of those officials into my area for just a couple days, and let them see first hand what the situation has become.
