[QUOTE="CoachChris, post: 233648, member: 12508"] No, I'm no relation to Treadwell. I don't go looking for bears. I avoid them and make plenty of noise when I'm not hunting. I hope my luck doesn't run out either. Yes, I don't get too excited about stuff like bears. Like I said, normal day to day stuff flips me out. I've been caught in 4 avalanches and it never got me the least bit excited. When the **** hits the fan you have to be calm! At Dogshead Creek I had no pepper spray. I usually keep it in my pack and attach it to the waist belt before I leave the truck. A roommate borrowed it and neglected to tell me :mad:. She actually needed to use bear spray the day before. She was a wolf biologist. She had to spray a sow with cubs she bumped into while tracking. Mine was a backup. At South Leigh Creek it was raining and the wind was in my face. I would have gotten the worst of it. I would have had to stick the spray right in the bears face. Phorwath, I get where you are coming from. Time and place, you know? I'm not careless or crazy. I understand that the bears need to have fear of humans for everyones best interest. If bears here get like bears there I will probably have a different reaction. Most people here have never even seen a grizzly. Many see no potential danger from them in any way at all. I know quite a few who don't even acknowledge their presence. [/QUOTE]
