Out running near Hungry Horse today and ran up on a blonde sow griz this size. Bigger than the black bear I shot. She was about 100 yards down the trail when I came around the corner 2 miles or so from the Jeep. I talk (loudly) to myself when I'm out alone and the wind was hard at my back, so she knew I was coming. She just looked at me. I yelled and waved my arms and clapped and she just kept looking at me. For whatever reason, in the moment I thought tossing a couple of rocks might help so I did that too. Thankfully, she knew I wasn't worth her time and I hauled my ass out of there. It's only awesome because I'm not dead. #pantscrapper #dontpanic #dumbassforgotherbearspray #mamabear
