I had mentioned it in the past. About tenish years ago, I arrived for a MT bird hunt, and a local paper was running a story of a bird hunter that shot a grizzly from off the hip, when it stood up, just feet in front of him. This past summer, I believe an experienced guide was killed while fly fishing in the Yellowstone, and friends couldn't stop a grizzly that pulled a camper out of her tent and killed her. Morale of the story, that's not a half bad reason for keeping a decent revolver handy and practicing with it, it seems the hunter did.
