[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 1727795, member: 108576"] Remingtonman I did not shoot. I shot an elk up a mountain side and took one there the year before on the exact trail and getting up that hill side was tough so I put my rifle and backpack with my S&W 29 in it against a tree so I could get the elk and start back down.I was going to bring the elk down the hill(Almost straight up)and gut him on flat land next to a creek and thought I may need to gut him up there as he was big so just took my knife and when I got within 20 feet from my downed elk a grizz jumped out from some brush rock and attacked my elk.He bit it and peed all over it.I yelled at him and he ran down the hill and stopped about 3 to 4 feet from me and he yelled!I could smell his breath as he slowly got closer to me still growling and chattering with his teeth.Slowly coming closer to about 2 feet I slowly backed down the hill and let him have my elk. I can still smell his breath!He was dirty and the whole area began to smell like bad bacon as he sprinkled all around the area.That musky smell is ingrained in my nose. I smelled that same smell at Glacier Park a few years ago on a hike and told others that Grizz was close by. The other incidence was a false charge where the female Grizz ran at me and veered off at the last minute.The whole false charge was 3-5 seconds it seemed.It took me longer than that to pull my S&W 29 out of the holster and raise it.I never would have had time to point and shoot! She had cubs so I left the area.I have found great sheds there but will never go back. Old Rooster [/QUOTE]
