Sounds like reason to be nervous. Maybe the judge who blocked the grizzly hunt needs to visit the area and see for himself how endangered they are.

Interesting, indeed. Looks like evidence proving the old theory of "dinner bell" bears.

Good article Guy,
Last year I was stalked by a Gray Wolf while hunting in Montana and had a fellow I met from Canada that was staying at the same Outfitter who gave up his primary hunting area because a bear was crisscrossing and cutting his trail seeing very fresh signs like muddy water in a mud puddle.
There had been a bow hunter mauled during bow season close to where I was hunting last year also.
After the wolf encounter and the bear story I always carried the rifle loaded with one in the chamber and the safety on since it was always in my hands and I could get it into action faster then I could bear spray which I had with me also.
