I did not take offense, nor imply you were taking it lightly. I was just agreeing with Geoffs commentary. I had seen that sign before, and it is funny, but kind of true at the same time.Apologies for a bad joke, in no way I meant to take the threats to both humans and bears lightly!
Like Geoff, I have spent a lot of time in the same Grizzly country he mentions, and have had several benign encounters over the years. I also have a close friend and Climbing partner who is a wildlife field biologist in Alberta who has first hand experience from the bears side of the story. I also had a close family friend who survived a grizzly encounter badly mauled. He was lucky, another member of his group died in the event.
How we ever got onto wildlife management...on a strength form...?
