Put up a bear fence around your camp try to hunt with two people and alway assume there is a grizzle near you meaning always be alert carry bear spray ,bear banger at night if packing meat out leave the rifle at camp and use a 12 gauge shotgun using 3 inch slugs and SSG get a North star light that has the red dot to put at the end of the barrow of the shotgun. Have hiegpowered head lamps as well to see good at night.
