Anyone had any issues with Grizzlies in spike camps at high elevation in central Wyoming?
Thanks. Good luck out there!I have a tag for Unit 54 this year. A Guide got mauled to death last year near Cody. I'm hunting alone and I'm not sure if I'm going to spike camp. (I usually do 3-5 nights solo living out of my backpack). It depends on where you're hunting but I know bears are becoming a bigger and bigger problem every year. The guy that got mauled was working up an elk with a guy watching for bears. They both nearly died. Its a serious threat. I would be extremely cautious with my food, where I shoot an animal and may consider an electric fence.

Agreed. Thanks alot.To be fair, someone would have to read the entire article of what went on.
They also had an elk carcass on the ground overnight.... that is a totally different situation that a well maintain spike camp.
If we worried about grizzlies in BC, with a population of 15k, like you guys do in the lower 48, we'd never go outside! You're more likely to get in a car accident and die on the way to your camp than get mauled by a grizzly.
To be fair, the client wasn't watching out for anything but his own hide and left the outfitter to die. If any lessons can be gleaned, the inexperienced tourist-hunters should stick to their tree stands. A good family man died thanks to a coward with deep pockets that should of stayed were he belonged.
Case closed in fatal griz attack
A Florida hunter who fled from a grizzly bear that was trying to appropriate an elk carcass thought his Jackson Hole guide was already dead when he first rang 911www.jhnewsandguide.com

Hahaha! It's rather funny and ironic that the guy from New York lashes back the hardest. Tell me again how I missed the mark. Continue to enjoy your guided hunts in my home state, bud.
There is only one point here--- if you dont know what your doing, are unprepared, and fail to remain constantly aware then you should probably rethink hunting in one of the most concentrated areas for grizzly. No amount of online reading, money, expensive gear, and bear spray will save you from ignorance and/or the inability to act.
Lmao! It's Alaska, buddy. Another place you tree stand warriors should stay out of.
Don't worry, they're from Colorado.
