[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1599048, member: 75451"] We’ve hunted near Turpin Meadows a couple of times, no encounters.....but always prepared. We had the most bear activities in Sunlight Basin and west of Horse Creek just north of Dubois. Once when we were hunting NW of Dubois, a hunter from Washington St. was mauled in the same drainage we were hunting. His partner wounded it....we didn’t know about the mauling until we were headed home and went thru the Game and Fish Check Station. Would’ve sucked to bump into a wounded, “****ed-off” bear! We now hunt Grass Creek most years, a good grizzly population (and wolves), and occasionally see sign. The first year we hunted there (about 8 years ago), a hunter (again from Washington), about 3 miles away (as the crow flies) was run over by a grizzly. Seems he walked up on a sleeping grizzly, spooked the bear....and was standing in the bears chosen escape route. I’m guessing similar to getting hit by an NFL lineman with a “full head of steam”! He only got a cut on his hand....and likely “soiled” his drawers! memtb [/QUOTE]
