Montana Bear Attack

[Guy Miner]

Seems that the shed hunter handled things pretty well:

A Shed Hunter Shot and Killed a Charging Grizzly Bear in Montana

A Montana man was looking for shed antlers on Friday when he was charged at close range by a grizzly, which he shot and killed.

Good that the man was armed and managed to get off a shot. I've been charged twice by grizzlies. Both were bluff charges, but things did happen quickly. I can say this--it is a terrifying few moments.

Dang! Never even been close to a griz, we only have blackies but I once found myself stuck between a mamma and twin cubs with only a broken piece of a shooting stick I used to knock down briers to defend myself. Luckily, they all just ran and met up and went on their merry way. Since then, I've always had something on my hip when out in the woods. Especially in spring gobbler and summer coyote and hogs because copperheads, rattlers, and cotton mouths seem attracted to my boots.

I have had to kill a black bear that charged me...I hope to never have to do the same with a grizzly.
But as I live and play in grizzly country, it could happen.
I just ensure that I am aware of my surroundings at all times, and prepared for the worst, and hoping for the best.

I got the email from the FWP, didn't see them mention there was a yearling, but they did say she was 13yo.
