This is just my own theory, but I believe that it was not really a grizzly attack, but yet another attempt by a Forest Service extremist to keep people out of the woods. Unlike the arsonists, perhaps this person just couldn't cross that line and burn the forest like his fellow environmental whacko Forest Service personnel did.

What to do then? I know, he just rented a bear costume and planned to scare the hell out of anyone entering the woods.

It's just a theory, of course.

On the hike back they were lucky to have evaded the blood thirsty spotted owl.

What did these hikers do, to have caused the Grizzly bear to hate them so much as to attack them?

[First_Salute]

"Haver saw the bear about 10 feet away and dropped to a fetal position and later said she felt the bear on her but suffered only scratches on her shoulder, officials said. Jourda ran at the bear and hit it in the side,"
Of course. ROTFLMAO.

Do bears leave methane producing waste in the woods? If so, would it run off and pollute the streams, and the methane contribute to global warming......GET THOSE POLLUTING BEARS OUTTA THERE!!!!!!!!!!

[kcamtx]

Had a second thought. It was probably the hikers who left methane producing waste. Leave the bears alone and get the hikers outta there.

She dropped into feed the bears position. Where was her pepper spray. That works some of the time heven forbid that she actual would of defended her self.

Glacier National Park has a large population of Grizzlies. Hikers/Backpackers who use the trails there know this since the Park briefs and warns everyone of potential encounters/attacks. An attack there is almost an annual occurence. Hike at your own risk. Lewis and Clark carried firearms and used them for a reason.

Having hiked the back-country there before, there are certainly plenty of grizzly as well as brown bears. The place we went had 4 fatal maulings in the three weeks prior to our arrival - of course the Rangers only told us that after we came out. (Fair enough - I didn't tell them I had a full auto Mac 10 with me either.)

Carrying your theory a step further, consider how it might go if Ranger Rick found the bear suit had already been rented out at the costume shop. He might have to settle for a substitute....

Sorry Rick, the bear suit is already taken. You should have let us know sooner and put down a deposit. But we've got a new one in that REALLY ought to scare the campers away from the drug airdrop sites....

"This is just my own theory, but I believe that it was not really a grizzly attack..."

Your theory seems at least partly right. - Grizzly bears usually do far more damage than that. - Cindy Duesel-Bacon, a Stanford University biologist, lost both arms and part of her intestines, and would have been killed except that the bear was run off by the helicopter that had just dropped her in the woods.

Once a Grizzly gets started, it usually finishes the job.

Have you ever been to Glacier? There are grizzlies all over. I'm sure this really happened. The bear was more scared than they were.
