There is an area here that is loaded with griz. Thing about it is, its loaded with game too. An easy hunt loaded with game but I won't hunt it because most of the game shot is lost to a bear or you better have a partner on guard while field dressing. The shot of a rifle is a dinner bell. Dam bears figure it out when there's a shot, there is food. Common sense needs to be applied here when hunting. Somethings just ain't worth it.
I pack a 357 and bear spray and my weapon of choice is bear spray. Even a bear fatally shot can kill you. You really,really,really have to be aware of your surroundings but then again, sometimes you come across a winter runoff where you can't hear, and a thicket where you can't see 3ft, this is when your a-hole is duck tight and all of a sudden a grouse flies out from under your feet.
