A few weeks ago a young guy was fishing in the river south of Cardston, Alberta. Grizzlies are super abdundant in South west Alberta and are rasing havoc with the local ranchers. And also moving out of the foothills and mountains.

Apparently the sow grizzly with cubs attacked the fellow. He told the story to a friend of mine who was bow hunting in his area.

The fisher guy played dead and the sow left him. He got up to get back to his truck and the bear returned and hammered him again. He played dead the second time.

The sow left and the poor fellow got back up and just about made it to his truck when the sow grizzly came back and beat on him for a while.

Eventually he made it to his truck and got to the hospital. I saw photos of the slashes in his body.

So lucky that he was not killed.

He told my young friend that the game wardens came to his hospital bed and .... charged him wih harassing wild life.

I would love to see that court appearance and see what the judge might say to the game wardens on that one.

Sounds par for the course in Canada. What's next....if you say bad things about griz they arrest you?

PS....the USA is a mess too.
