Bear Bums – Bear Hunting

We’ve blogged before on bear attacks and now everyone must have heard about the girl biker who was mauled by a grizzly outside of Anchorage Alaska on a 24 hour bike race. She must have surprised the grizzly bear and that is when the trouble started.

I feel bad and I felt worse when I spent the time reading 5-6 comments people sent in to the local newspaper. Most suggestions were to get rid of the humans and thus end the bear attacks. and bodybuilding breast augmentation

Last year I was grizzly bear hunting in British Columbia with Harry Leuenberger of Baldy Mountain Outfitters

. That day I was a spotter for a stalk on a big black bear. I was walking down an easy trail, an old logging road, through dense cover. Around the corner I came and in one, maybe two seconds, I had a face-to-face encounter with a grizzly.

I had a gun that I never had time to even raise. The grizzly bear made a bluff attack, kind of, as he bolted off the trail. Once the grizzly got 10 yards away from me in dense forest he was chomping his teeth, breaking branches and had a low rumbling growl. With the two second chance to retreat, I did. I backed away slowly, and carefully got right out of there. On my way back to the road I jumped a grouse, reminding me that I hadn’t been breathing for the past 15 minutes.

Truthfully, I do not know how to be in bear country without having a degree of risk. I guess I accept that risk because of the pleasure I get out of bear country. Whether I’m hunting sheep or bear, the risk should be lowered but it cannot be eliminated. I feel bad for the girl that was hurt and hope she recovers and gets back out there. ‘Bet she does. semen yellow turns viagra
