Grizzlies

This ain't really about hunting bears.. But. We have had quite a few bear attacks lately. By lately I mean the last 4-6 years. A couple every year. Just had another one last week. Farmer was out irrigating his hay ground about 15-20 miles south of Cody. Bear attacked him and really tore the guy up. Literally tore off his face and bit him up on the arms and legs. The fellow is about 60--62 yrs old and got flown to Denver. I doubt if he will ever really recover. I don't blame the bear..it is just being a bear. But...before we got all the anti hunters and teddy bear and wolf huggers back east involved in protection and turning loose YNPark problem bears where people live..These things just didn't happen..at least not here. Somehow I think a grizz hunting season would put some fear back into the grizzly population. No I don't wanna kill 'em all..just enough to put some fear of humans back into them Heck if ya kill a grizz..They investigate to prove you didn't entice the bear into attacking..Uh..yeah..we all want to get mauled by a bear!!
