people biking thru Montana stopped in a small town to set up tents for the night.....apparently a grizz came by but left and they stayed. Grizz came back and dragged a woman out of her tent and killed her....imagine that happening to you?

Long past due for real management of Grizzly bears in the Western U.S. These stories keep happening and it's getting ridiculous.

Why do these people not carry firearms for protection?

A lot of them are probably hippy granola types who think firearms are scary

Because they are completely ignorant and uneducated as to how practical people survive and live here outside of town.

I never go anywhere without real caliber protection. Or riding a horse in the outback.

My neighbors less than half mile away from me have driven home to face a big sow with two nearly grown cubs she was training to raid porches and outbuildings ....sitting in their driveway, glaring at them after running the dogs out into the woods.

Bears from my nearby Glacier Park have been flown over here , let loose, and either continue to pester cabins , or some even made the miles trip right back into the park.

Their homing radar is astounding....right up there with wuffs .

I have seen tracks in mud all around me on trails and service roads.

Mostly, they stay clear of humans, but sometimes....all it takes is one.

Sad to hear a woman lost her life. But I have to say I like that there are still wild places and wild things and dangerous things.

Now y’all got me rethinking my Western trip next Spring. How are they about breaking into trucks? Mainly the cab where I’ll possibly be sleeping?

I read on the internet that Grizzlies have adapted to the point they can pick vehicle locks.

This women probably had a high likely hood of food in her tent. And for a town like ovando situated next to vast wilderness area some bears are bound to start rummaging through the trash and get habituated to human food and smells. Thus, this bear undoubtedly went for the food and found more inside.

This happened to an acquaintance with a black bear in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Sleeping with food. Luckily my buddy rolled up while leading a mule train back to front country and the guy left with his life and scares on his head. You dont sleep with food. No cannon or spray will help you with that.

The studies are out mostly from alaska, that spray does lead to less deaths per confrontation but for where i hunt the wind would blow the bottle out of your hand let alone get the spray there, so the gun stays on my hip in griz country.

All that said it the price you pay living in the wild. I hope they open a season but towny bears will always exist and confrontation will continue. Calculated risk. Weigh the odds in your favor

I don't know how many are watching the Alone series this year with the contestants in grizzly country. I don't know grizzlies, but if I were spending time in that country I would sure feel better packing.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Bad news for the person killed but this is good news for us Montana folk. Lived in Montana a long time and heard of many people killed by grizz. Please don't move here as we have to many people already. I heard North Dakota is a good place to retire! grin

People want to enjoy the outdoors and nature. But when you are clueless/mindless yuppies from the city sometimes you can get more then you bargained for?? I bet there are some bikes for sale cheap.

Watched one go through a triple strand concertina in order to get to the mess tent area at hohenfels.
