LOL. Do you think it's the moderate coastal BC climate or the protein-rich salmon streams that coastal BC grizzlies live near that keep them fat and happy?:

Only thing fat and happy in a stream on the Easter Slopes is me.

The Coastal Bears need to have a certain amount of tolerance.
It's not a hard concept, compare a Kangal and a Cocker Spaniel, they're both dogs but they're not at all alike.
There is literally hundreds of years of accumulated knowledge that the Coastal Bears and the Mountain Bears are very different in behavior.
Another victim this guy out fishing and killed by a Grizzly simple counter-measure would have saved his life be prepared to deal effectively with the threat.

all the problem bears have collars on ... wow ...
could you point study and your claim about all the bears and collars?
here they put a tag on the ears and when a second one is added this is the last chance there will be not 3 rd tags.

I'd prefer a smaller gun, like a .45ACP or Ruger wheel gun but our country is broken an no longer functions.
I would prefer a compact double action .357 Magnum revolver with hard cast 200 grain bullets at about 950-1,000 fps but, as you just said, our country is broken and no longer functions.
Compact revolver = 4" barrel.

That was… 25 years ago. As guys get increasingly offended and attempt chip shots, not you to be clear, you know you’re onto something.
This was two weeks ago. Lightning is winning this season so far on outdoors fatalities in Canada vs bears. This high risk of grizzly attacks is an unwinnable argument. Been there, lived with them, did the purportedly highly deadly mountain grizzly recreating too, and there’s stats continent wide to gauge the risk. It’s absurdly low.
Again, carry a gun if you like, I often do. But don’t lose sleep over it. The one time they can live up to their reputation consistently is when wounded, and you’re trying to kill them. They’re no joke then.

This post and the one you quoted say nothing, stay on topic of thread.

It gets a bit funny, for sure. Not a single person here is saying it can’t happen. However from having had far more exposure than the forum average, even to the dreaded mountain strain, my understanding of the risk has tempered massively. I used to believe what many here do, experience with them changes that. I never failed to take killing them seriously, they can do what they’re reputed to when under fear of death. The vast majority other days they’re just trying to eke out a living in often shrinking or modified habitat.
It’s a lot like surfers and sharks. It happens a few times a year, like bear deaths. But there’s no best shark defence chambering; that doesn’t stop us from getting in the water. Go outdoors, explore, hunt, even plan for bear encounters. But don’t base your entire hunt and rifle choice around that one quite remote factor.
