My Season is Finished

[SapperDawg]

I hear that, hunting in griz territory scares the heck out of me and I could do without the negative temps. It's why I'll never do a 4th season elk or mulie hunt. Everyone I know that has used a processor for pronghorn has the same story regarding sage flavor of the meat. Happened to a buddy of mine last year. It's one of the reasons we were dead set on self-processing.

Yeah Grizzlies will stalk you the hunter becomes the hunted. He had been a guide for over 20 years but one got behind him grabbed him and sunk his teeth into his shoulder collarbone area, the bear picked him off the ground from behind lowered his paw just enough for my buddy to get his hand on a 357 he carried. He said he stuck the gun as far behind his ear as he could and started pulling the trigger. He told me he didn't care if he shot himself or the bear he just didn't want to die being eaten alive. He ended up killing the Grizzly but is messed up for life...but still alive.
