    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/grizzly-bear-pulls-california-woman-out-of-tent-in-montana-kills-her/ar-AALUtcq?ocid=entnewsntp

    400 lb grizzly killed a woman in Montana this morning, dragged her out of her tent and mauled her to death. 1st, terrible tragedy, I feel for her family and friends. 2nd, they are planning on trapping and killing the bear, the right move in my mind. 3rd, eaten by a grizzly is my 2nd biggest fear on way to die, eaten by a great white is #1. I have a fear of being eaten I guess?

    I always like to think I can stay at the top of the food chain, but life offers no guarantees.

    Well being she was in bear country, they should have known better than to have food in thier tents. Tragic, but completely preventable. I don’t think I’d be able to go back to sleep like they did knowing a bear was near.

    Terrible tragedy, but people have to understand when they are in bear country to take the proper precautions.

    Tex_77 your right. I think a lot of folks are discovering the great outdoors thanks to COVID. Im sure a lot of them get their education from online resources, but lack the experience. I not sure it was the case with her, but as some have mentioned, she was in the bears back yard with food. Tragic

    That’s why I always carry my 40 when I am at my place in the mountains. We have a cougar and black bear both showing up on the trail cams. The black bear is the least of my worries, it’s the cougar we worry with. If it becomes a problem, we’ll have to deal with it.

    johnsbrewhouse My wife is required to bring her M&P shield with her if she walks the dogs early or late since there have been reports of them around our neighborhood now. It’s funny, though I require it of her I don’t think she always does it. It’s almost like she doesn’t take me seriously? Seriously though, I think having a total of 300 lb of fairly aggressive dogs with her is enough protection.

    We have a 300+ black bear hanging out here, not really any issues other than knocking down garbage cans and pooping everywhere. Most of the time they just walk away unless you get between a sow and her cubs. Cougars, wolves and 'yotes are around and of the three the first two are the ones I would be concerned about. Bears will take advantage of an easy meal the other two are high end hunters. If you are out camping, hiking, in their environment you need to be aware of your surroundings and do what is smart. Unfortunately there will be sad encounters because of poor decisions and inadvertent interactions.

    YooperDog Never had an encounter with a wolve but I have to imagine that is a top tier “oh sh!t” wild experience! A wild wolf that weighs as much as my mastiff is a scary thought, and then think of a pack of them?!

    Jonathon The first time I ran into one in the woods my thoughts were da_n that’s a big dog, then realized I had a good mile walk back to my truck at sunset, a bit unnerving as they are singing and visibility is diminishing. I have had one walk in my foot prints when I was out solo doing some solo field ops, less than ten minutes after I came through. You need to keep your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings. Most dogs don’t stand a chance, but may buy you some time or at least a distraction.

    While I would not want to have an encounter with even a single wolf, I think they are more pack hunters than solo hunters when it comes to large mammals.

    I watched Into the Grizzly Maze a while back based on a mention from @Jonathan I believe during a podcast. I have not decided if it was horror or comedy. But definitely not a way I would want to go out.

    Grimpuppy Yes, it was that mix of horror comedy that I like. Somewhat similar, though nowhere near as good as Star Ship Troopers!

    I can’t even begin to count how many times I have watched Starship Troopers! Great flick.

    Very unfortunate, but as was pointed out food should have never been in their tents. In Montana humans are not at the top of the food chain in rural areas. I was elk hunting on the Continental Divide between Idaho and Montana. I came across wolf tracks, mountain lion tracks, black bear tracks (claw marks on tree too), and grizzly bear tracks with cub all on the same walk through some timber. Definitely gave me the willies! Grizzly bears are something to be respected and they scare the c**p put of me!

    YooperDog I have never crossed paths with a wolf but have seen coyotes and a bobcat while walking my dog along the river near my house. Once mentioned at work I was considering getting a CC permit to carry a gun while walking, they were wondering if I was afraid of people there and I said no, animals. They are used to people and are not afraid of them.

    I’ve also seen timber wolves in northern Minnesota. They are a big animal. Also had a black bear 6 feet from out tent. My wife did not care for that!
