Grizzly Bear Attack Lesson Nbr 2?

[Purrybonker]

Kinda a cool that this guy has a wife that not only goes elk hunting with him - but also wrestles grizzlies for him to protect his trophy! If she has a flat spot on top of her head - she might be darn near the perfect woman.

A hunter who came across a grizzly protecting her young cubs told rescuers the animal barrelled down on her so quickly there was no time to pull out a gun and fire off a shot before the bear threw her to the ground.

Calgarian Fran Nykoluk, 53, said the sow surprised her as she walked through the bush looking for the carcass of an elk she and her husband, Rick, had killed in the Isolation Creek area near Livingstone Range, about 110 kilometres southwest of Calgary.

Man - there must be something in the air. I think I'll keep my fishing to the river in downtown Calgary until the bears are done fattening themselves up for winter.

OK, the name Isolation Creek is enough to keep me away....

i was camping in an area where they were having bear problems (no griz, just black or browns, still scary) and they had posted signs giving hints on how to stay safe in bear country(no disney reference). the first 9 or 10 were your standard hang your food and such. the last two cracked us up, they were ladys menstrating were a bear attractor and should refrain from smellin up the joint, and to quote here "and alas sexual activity can attract bear as well so you should refrain from such in tents and open areas where the scent can travel".

we died laughing when we read it. if it had not been in a plexiglass case i might have lifted it for a scrap book. i was not laughing later that night when sweety would not kick the goods down for fear of getting the smudge pot cooking and having yogi and boo boo come a callin'.
