Hunting in Grizzly Country

This video is dedicated to Mark Uptain who lost his life to a grizzly bear sow and her cub while guiding an elk hunter in Northwest Wyoming. 2018 Our sincerest prayers go out to his family.
Growing up hunting in grizzly bear country, Randy has witnessed the grizzly population explode in the Northwest corner of Wyoming. Before the grizzly was put on the endangered species list it had a healthy fear of humans and conflicts between bears and people were almost nonexistent. Since they were listed in 1975 the grizzly has learned that humans are not a threat and have lost their fear which causes them to be even more dangerous and unpredictable.
If you are a hunter who draws a tag in grizzly country, are you ready and able to respond and act appropriately during a close encounter with a bear? If it charges can you defend yourself?
In the video Randy mentions an article that talks about using Bear Spray to deter a bear attack. That can be found here: https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2018/5/25/bear-defense-from-the-professionals/
God bless.
