you agree on what his mourning with us at large or his attempt to get more quotas for grizzly hunt? sorry for me still not clear about his long message ...
thank you.
you do not get it im not against grizzly hunting timing is all about /...
Wow, that is incredibly sad. I've got a month-old baby here and a nephew the same age as the deceased little girl.... I can't imagine what I'd do if anything like this happened to my wife and either of those kids. Just... wow. Terrible situation.
And yeah, I agree. Every time there's a shooting and the lefties use it to push their agenda, I'm disgusted with them. Using this tragedy to push an agenda is no different.

I don't know what firearm he was using but as far as I know he works primary outdoor in Yukon area and as a hunter and guide (from my understanding he is / was guided hunt on many species in Yukon) so under assumption he should carry enough gun (I mean best for self defense situation).
Condolence to those effected hope he can stand strong and recover from this tragic event.
I can only imagine what the husband/father is going through. For those that have never experienced it, intense emotional pain also has physical manifestations. Trauma without the blood.
Tragic event for all concerned. RIP.

Not dancing on her grave at all. It's very sad for everyone involved. I still would bet you I was right. And even if she did have her PAL, I bet she didn't have so much as bear spray actually on her person.

Who really cares?

I would like to know what a bushworker successfully used to stop a charging grizzly at close range without much warning. I am sure that it was a firearm light enough to be carried during his work day and so I would find value in knowing what it was.
YMMV but I work in the bush like this gentleman, far from vehicles and support and on foot with lots of heavy gear in bear habitat.
Same here
I'd like to know also. I usually don't go with my 375 H+H.. But maybe I should?
Vigilance Elite did a side by side with a Glock G 20 and a 44 revolver
Hands down they both went for the Glock
I've had to carry a number of different firearms depending on where I was working, what I was doing, what the bears were like in the area and what I had in my gun locker: Mossberg 500, LE No. 5, HP9-1, Llama Comanche 4" .357, NP29, SW12, SW19, BRNO 600 30-06, IMI Timberwolf pump .357, Marlin 1895GS 45-70, BRNO 602 .375 H&h, Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casul.
It's always a compromise between what I need versus what I can carry given the job, terrain etc.
Does it really make any difference whether or not she had bear spray, .........having read up on over 950 bear attacks, 38% of those with spray couldn't get it into action in time. She had the baby with her, and that would make any action slower, and time is of the essence when dealing with a bear.
Until the facts come out, why not just sympathize with them instead of all the "what ifs"?

Betting it was whatever he had in his hand. A cool experienced shooter can do with, not so much.

You cant just let a guy have a different opinion and move on? I also agree with all of Shockey’s statements, wether the timing was bad or not sure that is debatable, but his points are entirely relevant and should considered not dismissed.
