      Yea I probably should have been more terrified, but I had 10 folks behind me making noise (“Hey Bear”) and getting their bear spray ready. What’s scary is if he charged, there really isn’t anywhere to go since we were at the peak. It would just be pick a side and cross fingers.

    as long as you don't act like prey and run away, or get caught with your back to it, they tend to not want the problems that come with people lol.

    During our most recent trip in July, a grizzly emerged from the woods, following two hikers. The animal was only concerned about eating. He spent a fair amount of time eating grass by the roadside. That attracted a lot of vehicles and caused a bit of a bear jam:-)

    Shocking that people are so cavalier about a Grissly. Obviously, they know very little about them. If this guy was hungry or hurt he could have gone right for them and nothing would have stopped him. Someone quoted a figure of deaths by bears. U can count on all of them not being counted, the deaths.

    • @AlexynPhotoVideo
      @AlexynPhotoVideo  Год назад

      Did you get the impression that we sought out an encounter with a grizzly? We happened to be at the summit filming a short vlog about the hike and he showed up. We then had a very peaceful experience, and had a handful of folks ready with bear spray if need be. Your internet indignation is wild. Grizzly bear encounters in Montana happen, and I doubt Grizzly (Big Grizzly?) is suppressing bear attack numbers.

    Did you know that in 2021 21000 Americans were killed by gun homicides and only 4 were killed by brown bears?
    That is 4 too many.
    Allow for open carry in the national park system!
    Also in 2021 26000 Americans died by suicide with firearms but I couldn’t find any data on bear related suicide so it doesn’t feel fair to compare.
