[QUOTE="Triple BB, post: 441748, member: 947"] I hunted the Thorofare this year and we got charged by a bear. We walked out into a meadow from some trees and the bear was right there. He lifted his head and we both yelled. The bear was out about 40 yards when he charged. I started to grab my spray. My buddy already had his pistol out and fired at about 25 yards. The bear turned and ran towards some trees. He made some roars, started growling and then left. It happened so fast I didn't get scared. However I was rattled afterwards. Obviously they need to create a bear season. Given the wolf litigation, I doubt that'll happen in my lifetime unless litigation starts pushing things towards the US Supreme Court or they amend the ESA. I know a guy who shot a grizzly in self defense 15 years ago. He thought he was going to prison, but the Fed's eventually dropped the case. For years the WY G & F has advocated bear spray and asked people not to shoot the bears. Now the bear population has become so bad, I saw a piece on the local news recently where they were advocating carrying either spray or a gun or both. [/QUOTE]
