[QUOTE="fta0303, post: 3094034, member: 43503"] I spent many years hiking in the Wa and Or Cascades. I'm glad that I was able to do that in my life. I'd never have gone unarmed. And I stopped it when my Dad saw a grizzly smack dab in the middle of my favorite hiking area, about 1995. I'm pretty sure I came close to him twice before that without being able to see him. My hiking was always solo. I wouldn't do it today knowing of the grizzly. Low likelihood of encountering a bear, so they say. But if you do,he controls the issue, not you, unless you shoot him on sight. I'd not venture into grizzly country without a very compelling reason, especially not alone. Once again the feds override everyone. Only fools and people who don't go there want grizzlies planted in the North Cascades. The North Cascades connect to the rest of the Cascades and the Yakima Indian Reservation. I don't know why, in this country where bureaucrats are supposed to work for us, the people, we have to put up with this idiotic decision. At some point, someone will die because of it. [/QUOTE]
