400 lb grizzly killed a woman in Montana this morning, dragged her out of her tent and mauled her to death. 1st, terrible tragedy, I feel for her family and friends. 2nd, they are planning on trapping and killing the bear, the right move in my mind. 3rd, eaten by a grizzly is my 2nd biggest fear on way to die, eaten by a great white is #1. I have a fear of being eaten I guess?

I always go back to the scene in the movie “The Edge” with Anthony Hopkins and the Bear in Alaska where he finds out that Baldwins character didn’t burry the bloody rag and then they hear the bear. Now, that doesn’t make a ton of sense as the guy is still bleeding all over the place but still!

Does anyone remember tiger mosquitos? I am sure they were a thing like 10 years ago and I am fairly certain I saw one on my dog this weekend and MAN are they big!

The mosquitoes in the UP of Michigan need permission from Air Traffic Control to land.

My teacher had lived and/or visited those areas for years. On our first night he described us as human burritos in sleeping bag tortillas. There is a reason why you don’t leave food or any other bear attractant i. Your tent and our in the open. They have lock boxes at the campgrounds for a reason. It sounds like the bear made an initial contact with the bear before they put everything away. You gotta be careful in bear country

You can hear them on their attack run, sounds like a squadron of Japanese Zeroes armed with kamikaze pilots.

When we are in our environment we are at the the top of the food chain, cross that thin line and the food chain lines begin to blur. But unfortunately the two legged variety is going to cause to most issues.

This was a very tragic event. Nature is a force to deal with. Education and experience are critical when dealing with dangerous animals. I know I don’t mind snakes, as long as I can identify them without a question. I don’t play with the poisonous ones. I know nothing about bears, so I wouldn’t go camping without someone with experience or until I gathered enough information to feel comfortable.

Now on a bit of the lighter side, Here, in southeast Texas, the biggest predictor we have that can eat us alive are the mosquitoes. They have been know to carry away small calf.

Here we have folks that can’t pass high school chemistry but know how to shake and bake household and hazardous chemicals to get high.

Lots of tweakers in the woods since we boarder a National Forest where our property is. We run into their camps all the time, they like to give you cr*p until they see a holster, then they have no idea who you are. If you go back the next day they are gone.

After 32 plus years of LE, I’m still more worried about 2 legged animals than any other. That includes sharks also and I SCUBA.

The first one I seen in my area was a single, maybe out roaming or part of a spread out pack. My solo encounter with the foot prints were from a mated pair in the area. It was a bit of a distraction because I didn’t think there were any in the area and I was out in the field solo doing day and night training. I only found out after I went to talk with the local DNR agent for the post.

Some are pretty particular about having a firearm in the woods w/o a valid license.

Just started showing up in the central lakes country, west of Detroit Lakes. Told my brothers to shoot on sight, again problem is none of us live in the area any more, although we are all either retired or soon to be so hopefully can spend more time there and try and get rid of the problem.

Also starting to see coyotes show up, which I don’t like and am thinking of trying to call them to get rid of them, only problem is I live in NM and only make it up there once in the summer and then again in Nov. for deer hunting.

They are a big animal. Also had a black bear 6 feet from out tent. My wife did not care for that!

Once mentioned at work I was considering getting a CC permit to carry a gun while walking, they were wondering if I was afraid of people there and I said no, animals. They are used to people and are not afraid of them.

In Montana humans are not at the top of the food chain in rural areas. I was elk hunting on the Continental Divide between Idaho and Montana. I came across wolf tracks, mountain lion tracks, black bear tracks (claw marks on tree too), and grizzly bear tracks with cub all on the same walk through some timber. Definitely gave me the willies! Grizzly bears are something to be respected and they scare the crap put of me!

Grimpuppy Yes, it was that mix of horror comedy that I like. Somewhat similar, though nowhere near as good as Star Ship Troopers!

I can’t even begin to count how many times I have watched Starship Troopers! Great flick.

I have not decided if it was horror or comedy. But definitely not a way I would want to go out.

I have had one walk in my foot prints when I was out solo doing some solo field ops, less than ten minutes after I came through. You need to keep your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings. Most dogs don’t stand a chance, but may buy you some time or at least a distraction.

A wild wolf that weighs as much as my mastiff is a scary thought, and then think of a pack of them?!

Most of the time they just walk away unless you get between a sow and her cubs. Cougars, wolves and 'yotes are around and of the three the first two are the ones I would be concerned about. Bears will take advantage of an easy meal the other two are high end hunters. If you are out camping, hiking, in their environment you need to be aware of your surroundings and do what is smart. Unfortunately there will be sad encounters because of poor decisions and inadvertent interactions.

johnsbrewhouse My wife is required to bring her M&P shield with her if she walks the dogs early or late since there have been reports of them around our neighborhood now. It’s funny, though I require it of her I don’t think she always does it. It’s almost like she doesn’t take me seriously? Seriously though, I think having a total of 300 lb of fairly aggressive dogs with her is enough protection.
