Halfway River Grizzly Attack

it's especially nice to have a dog around when working on a downed animal as they can give you a heads up on unwanted intruders.

thats for sure! you would know.

Did some research on grizz attacks while field dressing game and came across some more detail of the 2004 attack west of Pink Mountain.

The horse incident in post 1 reminds me of Dan Brooks’s accident.

Thanks for the story and Pics.
Definitely a scary day for the father and son.
Being on a slope like that always makes it hard, and obviously was.
You can take as much precautions as possible, but it still can happen.
Glad to hear they are ok.

crazy story , grateful all was well in the end. that's my fear hunting with my 10 year old son this year for elk but as stated in here we would have our dog with us whom hates bears , but my riffle would be locked cocked and ready to rock beside me at all times..vortex

Nice to have dog along but enviornmental factors such as wind and noise affect them too , especially as they are usually somewhat distracted by downed game. Still need to be vigilant

Yes lots of people hurt every year by horses, they can be a very dangerous animal.
