Grizzly Bear Attack Survivor - Gruesome & Unnerving

[Pdvdh]

Here's a link to an interview with the survivor of a 1959 Glacier National Park sow grizzly bear mauling. A predation-induced attack & mauling. Rather rare with grizzly/brown bear, but not unheard of. Remember Timothy Treadwell in Alaska? The bear lover?

This attack had nothing to do with a sow protecting cubs. Gruesome! The victim and survivor, Joe Williams, never told his story in this level of detail, until 2007. Joe has since passed away.

Better take a shot of Vodka to settle the nerves, before settling down and listening to this first-hand account. Will require ~31 minutes of listening time.

There are many so called experts on bear attacks today. I am partial to James Gary Shelton and his books such as Bear Encounter Survival Guide because I got to know him a little over the phone after a friend of my family was attacked and killed by a black bear. He has a more pro-human view when it comes to bear on human attacks and has a down to earth way of explaining to you how to avoid as well as well survive bear attacks in his books. I have read many different books on the subject but I agree with Gary far more than any other author. If you live, hunt, or work in bear country as I have especially grizzles his books are a must read. I lived, worked, and hunted in Wyoming grizzly country for ten years and they kept me out of any trouble.
