What are your guy's thoughts on the bear attacks this year?

I don't know if I would call it Racking Up, but there are a few more already this year.

But when you have more and more people heading into the back country or where the bears are more active you are going to see more bear attacks.

Here is another one that happened recently. I like the part about campers waking up to the bear and taking their food out of their tents and going back to bed.

I feel safer hiking in bear country than I would walking around in Chicago. But, bears are dangerous and should be actively managed.

Best to carry a gun in both places.

I feel for the folks that are mauled and their families but hang out in the bears home and that is the chance you take.

This is going to get worse before it gets better IMO

If we could hunt them quite a bit (like in Alaska) they would fear people and stay away a lot more resulting in fewer attacks. Unfortunately that probably isn’t going to be permitted anywhere in the lower 48 any time soon.

I was watching "wardens" last night and it was going over a grizzly attack.

Some shed antler hunter had to shoot a bear in self defense. He got very lucky with that .44 magnum he has on his side. I believe he said he shot it 2 times actually. The second shot proved to be a solid hit.

I bet you he needed to change his underwear after that encounter. Of course the wardens pretty much demonized him for shooting the bear in a round about way....

Bystanders backed his story so they had to let accept what happened.
