Madison Clave warning
This afternoon I talked to a senior Forest Service ranger who used to be
a wildlife biologist in Montana. He said the Hegben Lake area is rife with grizzlies. I'm bringing my bear spray and a large caliber sidearm. Stay clear, or at least upwind. :-) -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

I'd advise against transporting a handgun (heavy or otherwise) from Finland to the US. The same goes for boxcutters and even Bic pens. :-) If you want to shoot some weapons in Montana, I'm sure you can find some arrangements. I don't know the details, but Warren can help you out. To tell the truth, if I'm riding into backcountry thick with grizzlies, the .357 magnum I'd carry would just mess him or (more likely) her up for revenge after I'm dead. Your best weapon is avoidance, but avoidance doesn't mean you shouldn't come to the Clave. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

In Grizzly county make sure to grind off the front sight of your "large
caliber sidearm." That way it won't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up your ass. G Chris "rw" wrote in message m...

I should have mentioned that this posting was brought to you by an Alaskan
fly fishing guide that works at Kaufmann's Streamborne during the off season. He has lots of wonderful bear stories and I really enjoyed this little ditty and I couldn't resist. He has one about Pepper Spray as well, "In Grizzly Country, wear a bell and carry pepper spray." "By the way you can tell Grizzly Bear Scat from Black Bear cuz it is darker and larger, has bells in it and smells like pepper." Chris "Padishar Creel" wrote in message news:...

Practice tree climbing and always go out with someone you can outrun. Tree climbing does not work here, because the bear is good in tree climbing also. The second advice is better! OsmoJ |

OsmoJ Only very young grizzlies can climb. However, there are also black bears (smaller, but generally do more harm) and they can climb. Legend has it that if you climb a tree to get away from a bear, the black bear will climb after and get you, the grizz will look the situation over and knock down the tree and get you. Probably a bit more likely than the run faster legend. In either case, if someone starts running, they can trigger the chase reflex. Since both kinds of bears can outrun any human, well... So if I'm with you and we spot a bear and you run, I'm going to stand still and look like a tree until the bear is dining happily and then I'll sneak off a different way and report the sordid story. On the other hand, I've read about a guy who climbed a tree to get away from a black. It kept trying to drag him down by the foot and he kept kicking it in the nose. Eventually it got tired of that fun, hung around a while to see if he'd come down and then took off. He then climbed down and limped off for some medical help. I have never heard of a grizz knocking down a tree to get at a potential victim. Not saying one couldn't give a relatively small tree a good shaking, though, and if it's a solo event, how would we know what exactly went wrong? -- rbc:vixen,Minnow Goddess,Willow Watcher,and all that sort of thing.
