Luke shares some pretty important information about possible Bear Encounters.  Every encounter has the potential to end up in death.  Outdoorsmen must understand that when entering bear country, their actions can either encourage a bear encounter, or prevent one.  Prevention begins with knowledge and preparation.

We've been traveling to bear country every year with our boys since they were very young.  We've always been extra cautious when camping, hiking, and fishing in and around bear country.  Bears are here, they are a real threat, and they are dangerous.  There are things you can do to keep yourself safe and on alert at all times.  

Luke has grown up hearing all of these safety tips and we've followed through by taking the necessary steps and precautions when recreating in bear country.  We do everything right.

A day of fishing in grizzly country kept us on high alert, as always.  We did everything right.  We all had our bear spray and kept our heads on a swivel, making sure we were not being visited by a 4-legged predator.  Luke moved to another location around the lake we were fishing for a short bit.  When Dad called Luke back to the truck to start packing up, what we saw next made the hairs on the back of our neck stand up. 

A huge grizzly bear materialized in the exact same spot where Luke was fishing, just moments after he walked away.  Listen to Luke tell his story...

Enjoy!
