If we're hunting together..

Would have been awesome if the guy getting mauled caught the gun and shot dead the guy running off.

Lol, shoot him in the leg and have him stumble to the ground so the bears could get to him, giving you a chance to get away.

What a shame.

Tracking in bear country, looking for a day old carcass should have thrown up a red flag to the guide. At least enough have to be on point for the unexpected scenario that came abroad. If the guide was caught by surprise, (which I'm certain was the case) the damn Floridian should have had enough sense to un-holster his weapon and fire towards the charging bear. ****, just the grazing of lead could have prevented this situation from being fatal. This is why you practice with your weapon so that fear doesn't overcome your training.

Exactly. They both probably didn't have their guns readily available for a worst case scenario and suffered the consequences. Things are different out west.

Imagine being the guide and seeing your client chuck his handgun at your then head for the hills? Sheesh, what a way to go.

Pretty weird.
We hunt in north Georgia and my gun is always readily available.

Tragic, terrible lesson learned, Practice for this type of situation, Action by training when you can't and don't need to think.

You got that right just aimed a little high when gun went boom GRIZ would got the message in must cases and cut and ran if not keep shooting make it count

Do you still believe everything you read on the news?

What has the highest probability? That the incident occurred as reported or that the article is the result of a lousy job?

Is there any other source?

If I was the guide this would be the beginning of Revenant 2. Show up at his house in FL on his neighbors golf cart armed with blood in my eye.

and you see me getting attacked by a Grizzly, please don't throw me your pistol. Just take your shot. If you hit me, you hit me. I'd rather go out that way.

Yep, this is the only time that sweeping me with your muzzle will be acceptable.
