I'm joined by Clint Wirick, a Biologist here in the State of Utah and a contributing member to all things Muley Freak. Recently he was featured in an episode of Bear Wars in which his close encounter with a black bear was the highlight... or lowlight, depending. Clint discusses how they handled the situation, and how anyone out in the backcountry this Spring and Summer can react when or if they come across a wondering bear. Thank you for listening. Enjoy!
