I have a friend hunting in grizzly country. He is very familiar with the area and has had great success there in the past. Tonight in the basin where the deer and elk usually come out, there is a big grizzly walking around. We've known they were there for years because we see their tracks, but this is the first actual siting. It kind of has him worried. He is hunting alone.
Currently he is about 400 yards away from the bear and wondering what to do.
So, what should I tell him to do? Make noise and try to spook the bear while he's still at a good distance? Pack up and come home? Hunt the other side of the ridge? Sit there and wait to see if a big buck shows up? Do you really want to shoot something with a griz in the basin also. I wouldn't want to be trying to keep track of a hit deer and also a hungry griz. Does anyone have any legitimate advice they would share?
Thanks,
Soup
