This is a harrowing read, but shows what courage a friend can muster: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/35820049/college-wrestlers-grizzly-bear-attack

 

 

Thanks Kate. What a heart wrenching experience. 

Wow ?

Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. The man who jumped on the bear's back is the only person on Earth who could go to a rodeo, watch the bull riders, and say, "Sissies."

Agree, an incredible story of bravery.

I thought it was going to be this...

Yeah, no. I'm more the "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you" kind of guy...

 

 

                                           

Wow, what a story. I'm always moved by acts of selflessness. 

That was a bone chilling read. Remarkable bravery by both.

wow!!

Wise words to live by in grizzly country: no one can outrun a grizzly, but you can out climb one if a nearby tree has some low limbs. Black bears are good climbers, mature grizzlies aren't: their long fore claws are made for digging, not climbing.
