I told my wife I wonder when it's my time to have a scary encounter. I already jumped one during a goat hunt this year and luckily he went the other direction. I really hope we get a season for these guys. They aren't hardly scared of humans and I think we are seeing the results this year alone.

Oh ya, my hunting buddy was charged yesterday morning as well. The bear bluffed and took off, no issues afterward.

I had a close encounter last year. No shots were fired but it scared the bajeezers out of me.

We tented a couple nights last week during a fruitless Colorado first rifle season...& found fresh scat less than 25 yards away that was as big as a beer can. Brought new meaning to the phrase "hold your water".

Just wait until you get in griz country and that happens...

I hope I never get that close...I agree with Bart...certainly seems that a season would be justified and good for everyone!

 

[Horn Seeker]

Im with you Bart... when is it going to be my turn? Yikes!

Think I'm planning on hunting in the NON- GRIZZLY areas and not have to worry about it.

I'm with Streamer! I made that choice this year and haven't looked back.

Spent the last several nights surrounded by steaming piles of bear crap and fresh tracks. Looking forward to my own bed tonight.

Looks like a great year for you Montana boys to make a big push for such a hunt.How many people have to get killed/injured before its time to put some fear of humans in those bearsYour state would stand to make alot of $$ from that draw I would imagine also

Heck, I had a sow grizzly and 2 cubs decide to "jog in" and take a look after I had filled a B-tag Wednesday morning 15 minutes east of Kalispell. Luckily I saw them coming before I started to field dress it, @ 45 yards I fired a warning shot which made her peel to the north of me...

Yikes! Glad you were on alert and didn't need to take any further actions.

Yes it's starting to get pretty scary.I leave next week for a Deer hunt north West of Cody near the Yellowstone boarder and i will be tent camping.

I will be carrying Bear spray and a 44 mag along with a home protection shotgun for the tent and hope i don't need any of them.
