Another Grizz~

Attack in montana~

A man lay in a hospital bed recovering from his injuries Tuesday morning after bugling in more than a burly bull elk.

Hunting near the Dry Gulch, Cascade Creek area in southwestern Montana, Tom Sommer and a friend were doing their best to call in a bull elk when they stumbled across a grizzly bear feasting over a carcass. In an attempt to scare the bear away, the pair yelled at the bear before it decided to charge the pair of hunters.

Deploying bear spray on the attacking animal, only one of the men was able to get his spray to work as the bear pounced on Sommers, biting his thigh and head. As Sommers attempted to shoot the animal during the attack, he was unable to regain control of his weapon. As he put some space between himself and the attacking bruin, he was able to spay the bear with bear spray from a couple feet away and escape.

Pepper spray, so the bear things you taste like a buffalo wing.

Don't know about others but wilst big game hunting in grizz country weapon of choice is my side arm or rifle,I used mace while fishing in alaska walking along the rivers when we came across fresh bear scat still steaming to cover our scent as we backed away from the area.Here today so it worked.

Why did they try and scare the bear away. If they had half a clue they would know that is just looking for a fight

Yep, pure lunacy. Grizz on a multiple day food source = find somewhere else to be.

I think we were perhaps watching the same bear that mauled the lady in Tom Miner Basin. I think it was on the same cow and still eating. They don't destroy a bear that attacks while on a kill. There was about seven or eight cars watching the bear. We stopped and talked to a guy because at first we didn't see what they were watching. He asked if we were bow hunting elk. I said nope wolves. He couldn't talk well enough to understand. As he spit on himself I could hear him say he wasn't going to talk to me anymore and rolled up his window. Same in Cooke City, they like their wolves.
