BC Park Ranger Mauled By Sow Grizzly Bear
Guy gets mauled (sow defending her cubs), no help or cell service, drives himself to hospital-has to ring buzzer for them to let him in. Glad he's going to be ok.

I’m usually really sorry these things happen to people, but after reading this story.......... I’ll leave it at that.

“It was me dropping my guard in grizzly country, which you can never do. I did it because I was so close to my house. I learned a big lesson.”
Summed it up right there, could have been a lot worse.

Love the last line about dropping his guard in grizzly country. Also read another article pointing out the dangers of having fruit trees, and that certainly played a huge part in this one.

Yup. Completely agree. That bear has now learned no bad comes from attacking people or being near them. I HOPE the animals move far off as the next encounter could go pretty horribly for the next 'people'.

It's just going to happen more often now with the way things are going in BC and in Alberta. Sad people have to get hurt but we have to save the Grizz ya know because there are so few. The Bio's said so so it must be true.....

There's a grizz in the backyard so he grabbed his cell phone with no signal and went to investigate? How about a 12 ga. with bangers and rubber bullets backed up by a few slugs.

2x.. Bio’s are a joke. This is going to happen more and more with no hunting seasons in both provinces. Bears have no fear of humans without a hunting season.

If anything it knocks down the population in areas that need a little thinning and where humans are present more often. Kananaskis for instance needs some thinning....

Glad this fella is OK!!
Agree with the first part of your response Phil....there are going to be more incidents occur!! Guaren-&$#*ing-teed!!!!
But you're wrong as far as the BC bio's part.....they've always deemed sustainable numbers of grizzly to hunt!!
It was weak kneed politicians looking for support and gave in to emotional pressure!! Laurel and Hardy over here running the show have stated this!!
Feel bad for the bio's in this case......hard core science.....trumped by feelings!!

Yup you probably are right on thinking that way. I just got a hard on for Bio's in Alberta after seeing what is going on with Predator Managment or lack there of..... And a handful of other reasons.
