How unfortunate. He was a father of five as well...
Quite the display of pusillanimity by the Yankee.

Have to let the facts come out. But from the sounds of it, two grizzly bears attacked them while they were working on the elk. Let's wait for the other side of the story before making judgement.

Sad, I feel for the man's family.

Couple coworkers are out working this case. They e caught and killed 2 grizzlies they believed were involved. Sad state of affairs! I’m afraid this sort of thing will only come more common place as time progresses. Be safe out there everyone!

Like was said, the actual events are unclear at this point... but I'm finding the scenario implied by the article very hard to believe. I'm willing to bet that either no gun was tossed before the hunter fled, or possibly the hunter was following instructions given by the man being attacked.

In a world where a bus full of people will cower while a man armed with a pen knife eats another person's face its somewhat surprising this isn't a more common story.

Yep for sure.

Like ford said, it's under investigation.
Only one side of the story now though, and two bears that are dead ain't talkin.

I know one thing, and I'm not a hero, and never will be.
But I will never leave another human being behind.

Happens fast guys. We had a bear come at a run from over a mile away to a sheep carcass. Lucky my son looked up and saw her. Managed to turn her at 200 yds with a couple shots. Or have turned bad fast if my son hadn’t spotted her also lucky it was open terrain. Keep your heads up and good luck this season

I just read an update yesterday. They found an empty bear spray canister at the scene and when they examined the bears there was bear spray on them. So much for relying on bear spray. The only spray that works is one that shoots lead.
