[ghost stalker]

i loved hunting in the koortenays, and one of the reasons was the wildness and a little bit of fear that it could be a life of death adventure. might sound idiotic but it is a dangerous (and should be considered as such) endevor. you shouldn't get into something your not prepared for. i try to learn as much as i can about my surroundings out there so i can make informed desisions. eg. when we shed hunt in the kootenays and come accross coyote,wolf,cougar,black bear sign we don't worry much cuz we know that in the area they are rarely a problem but keep our eyes open and stay away from any kills, but if we cut a griz track or pile of G-poop we stay out for a good while and monitor with glass. we know better. we also accept that if it goes south that we made the decision and we made a mistake. wanna go for a jog! then find a gym! or get informed and you'll probable realize that most predators can't pass up a tasty jogger and walk like i do.

attacks will continue without a doubt due to chance,bad decisions, and ignorance. the best thing people can do is learn as much as they can about these wildlife areas so they can eliminate at least one reason to become a chew toy. if not there are lots of fitness centers and zoo's to visit.
