Some predators walk on 4 legs, and you are only an apex predator when you are armed. Hunter shoots charging grizzly bear in defense of life near Cave Falls Road | Idaho Fish and Game
A hunter and his son were hunting black bear in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, near Ashton, Idaho, when a Grizzly charged them.
The hunters were sitting on the edge of a meadow when a grizzly began crossing it and seemed to pick up their scent. The grizzly then changed direction and headed directly toward the two hunters. As the hunters attempted to alert the grizzly to their presence, it began to charge directly toward them. The man fired at the charging bear with his sidearm before quickly switching to his hunting rifle, killing it within 5 yards of where he was standing.
Ashton, Idaho, is near West Yellowstone. It is about 220 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah, or about 110 miles south of Bozeman, Montana.
The Idaho Fish and Game department has determined that the grizzly was shot in self-defense.
After conducting a thorough investigation, it was determined that the hunter acted in defense of life, as he and his son were being charged by a bear from a close distance.
