[QUOTE="ATH, post: 542220, member: 1656"] One statement in that Idaho story is true...the fact that they are even prosecuting under those circumstances -- regardless of whether he faces any actual punishment in the end -- is going to deter people from reporting self-defense shootings of bears. I don't know anyone who is going to actually wait until they have claw marks on them to pull the trigger, and if they are fortunate enough to survive unscathed, after reading this story there seems little to gain by trying to be the obedient citizen and reporting it. One of my hunting partners had an encounter with a bear a good 60 miles east of the mountains last year, and a good 50-70 miles away from Glacier. This year, he sent me a photo of THREE grizzlies together in the same area. They're not just hiding in the wilderness anymore. [/QUOTE]
