I just received my Winter Issue of "The Bugle," from RMEF. In it is the story of the Montana elk hunter who was killed, last October, by a Grizzly.
He was hunting alone, killed an elk with his .270, was cleaning it, when, according to what the Game Wardens thought later, the momma Griz surprised him. It didn't appear as if he ever touched his rifle for a try at self defense. They figured he probably didn't even see the Griz coming at him.
First hunter who was killed by a Griz in Montana, in 50 years.
I've hunted elk/deer in Griz country, quite a few times. I've not seen one, but have seen their tracks and markings. I try to be as careful as possible, but as the old saying goes, "Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes he eats you."
FWIW. L.W.
