There was a reason why my grandfathers generation hunted these things to local extinction. Arrogant lefties today think they know better.

To me, it sounds like grounds for the Darwin Award. What the heck was he doing gutting an elk in grizzly country?

I am by no means a hunting expert, and the little I know about deer and elk hunting would not fill a page...
That said, what little I do know is based on southern and southwestern hunts, and there are very few bears here.
If one is hunting in an area with a known bear population, does that change how, when or where you would field dress the carcass?

If one is hunting in an area with a known bear population Then one should not hunt alone.

Buddy System is the best protection. I'm a fisher...and I'm never alone for the sport. Sorry about the tragedy, but that's the risk of hunting of any type.
To: Brilliant
One guts the elk where it is shot. It is way to heavy to carry for a horse, so it has to be cut up for several horses.
Maybe he was preparing to hoist the meat up so bears or wolves could not get it.
That said, no one should hunt alone in Montana...
Sorry for the family where Dad was trying to put some food on the table.

To: thackney
i was wondering about that. it seems that if you were kneeling over an animal carcass in bear territory, you'd need another person to stand guard.
(however, i'm not a hunter, so i'm just guessing here.)

Up here, hunting alone is just not a smart thing to do.

The nice goober from the gooberment agency can do no wrong. Repeat ten times.
Frank Craighead, Sr. warned NPS that closing the garbage dump at Yellowstone would result in hungry bears killing and eating people. By the way, he started the field of grizzly bear research.
ParcMan ignored Craighead, closed the dump, and that season two young women were killed and eaten. And bears had never before eaten a human in Yellowstone. Killed, yes; but not eaten. Until ParcMan ignored the leading grizzly research scientist, that is.
Note - No ParcPerson was killed. So the NPS policy of
Agenda Uber Alles! is intact.
If an individual owns an animal, and that animal causes property damage or injury or loss of life, that individual is responsible for the behavior of that individual's animal.
Yet the goobers in the gooberment claim to own the grizzly bears and also claim not to be responsible for their behavior.
Sounds like bureaucratic baffle-gab enforced by a Communism Lite court to me.

i sure wouldn't think so.
i'm a long islander, where we don't have such fierce critters, but i sure wouldn't do ANYTHING alone in places where grizzlies live.
and it seems like the smell of an amimal carcass would be exactly the sort of thing to attract a grizzly. and i would guess that the position you would be in when you gut a carcass would be a pretty vulnerable position.
whenever i have been in places where a lot of bears live, i have been warned about carrying anything that might attract the bears.
the long island equivalent would be to throw a bunch of bloody fish guts in the water, then jump in and expect sharks to ignore you.

Well, maybe he needed to find a different place to hunt. That was asking for it.

Never hunt alone in areas where grizzlies live.

I read an article that at least one western state said they had a surplus and wanted to open a hunting season for grizzlies.
If that does not fly, I would suggest trapping and releasing grizzlies in red states.
The arrogant lefties should have the true nature experience of having a grizzly in their back yard.
