I am not interested in hunting at all.
Predator or otherwise.
Taking a hike thru a known area where Bears are at and have killed livestock for food is a dangerous idea especially when the Bear is a Grizzly.
I do not believe in taking life when it can be avoided because that creature was given life just as every one of us was. It lives in the wild and fends for itself.
When ya know this is Grizzly territory and they are just emerging from hibernation every hunter should know they are HUNGRY and not in good moods. AVOID them at all costs. Don't provoke and be in its path unexpectedly ..
The Bear had a natural and instinctive reaction.
The two BOYS should NOT have been there.
The bear is not to blame. It was the two dip****s who knew better and yet because of their stupidity came face to face with a large Grizzly when they did not have to, Now that bear is dead having survived thus far in the winters and likely was on its way to go forage for food.
Because of their thoughtlessness they came face to face with a hungry Grizzly. Now the Grizzly has lost its life.
That is a shame it survived several years in the wilderness and now is killed by a stupid kid...
