Couple grizz that charged me

[BRvalley]

glad to hear all ended well...it's good to shit your pants now and then, let's you know you're living life in the fast lane lol

we didn't get our moose this year, but I'd say we talk and relive our grizz encounters way more than talking about any moose kill from the past....you'll be telling this story years from now!

would you say that looks like a sow and 2nd year cub?

Is there a law that says, you have too run for your safe space when you see G bears? The guy stood his ground and educated two bears, who now have some respect for humans! I guarantee you they will be running in the opposite direction when they hear a shot, or smell a human, unlike some other uneducated bears that think a shot means dinner. Thank goodness you are not a CO. Jeff I would have dropped both those bears no questions!

Spy ...thanks bud ... memory flash back..haha..
I wonder sometimes what makes certain people tick ...always one guy has to pick shit apart ....

My opinion brother and sister

I would have just shot them, too much risk for a bloody bear? Great shots but next time they might go all the way and that closing time of 30 yards is nothing, be terrible to get torn apart because of two stupid bears? You're lucky bud but bud careful as I'm sure you have a family.
i agree you have big balls of steel!

What is the verdict as to if this was a sow and two year old or two, two year olds ?
Would like to know
Thanks

Looks like a sow and yearling

Both bears are at least 2.5 to 3 years old

Now I am impressed Spy. I have never been able to figure out how to age a smallish Gbear standing alone out on the mountainside so as to avoid shooting a subadult (less thn 2 year old) bear. Please do me and perhaps many others a favor and make this a teaching moment. What physical characteristics do you see that allow you to confidently age the pictured Gbears.

Thank you in advance
