Female biologist doing a mountain goat survey in BC was attacked by a Grizz and plunged her fixed blade knife into its neck. Lady has nerves of steel. Bravo.

Damn! She kept her head which likely saved her life.

She didn’t need one, she was strong enough to get by with a knife.

 

[Eltigreblanco]

What a badass!

Actually, people working in remote areas in Northern Canada can get permits to carry. Usually reserved for trappers and prospectors/geologists (my cousin had a carry permit for a large frame S&W for years when he did field geo work).

It is just a HUGE pain in the ass to get the permit and to keep it current.

Holy S***. Amazing she walked away from a bear standing on top of her with wounds that minor. Well done!

she’s definitely earning every penny of her salary.

I can't imagine how long it took her to crest that hill having to wheelbarrow those giant nuts of steel around

If I was in the back country up there and couldnt get a handgun I'd have an 870
slung over my shoulder, always.

That's hardcore.

In Alaska bios are allowed to carry firearms for protection. This happened in Canada so no second amendment up that way. That’s one pretty tough and level headed individual though.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

If it was a hunter getting his ' just deserts' it would be all over the news...

Respect to this Lady.

She will have the ultimate story to tell! It really is kind of a fantasy for all outdoorsman to kill a Grizzly with a big ole Bowie knife.
