Back around 1999 when I worked at TVA Reservation, Muscle Shoals, one of their research scientists was sent somewhere in very remote Canada where only a satellite phone could communicate to the outside world. One day failed to check in at the normal time and could not be reached by the satellite phone. After assembling a search/rescue crew, his remains were found partially eaten/partially buried. Seems like they determined that it was a grizzly but I don't remember if they tracked and killed it or not. The guy's girlfriend worked in the same building that our crew was based in and it took her a long time to even come close to getting past all that. Then, one day when I was over at TVA Police Headquarters for a trouble/service ticket, they had evidence/investigation pictures of how the scene where/when the guy was found. To say he died a horrific death don't even begin to get it right.

As for me and bears, I won't knowingly put myself where a bear, big cat or other predator of man killing size is known to roam. I'm so old and slow that I'd just be bait.


Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.
