I hike with a gun for basically those scenarios. I stay fresh with a range but it seems that warning shots are mostly as far as it goes. There is a bad story of a hunting guide getting killed near an elk carcass though, either Dubois or Cody area I can’t recall. So it can def go south if they’re looking at you more deliberately. Glad you made it!
Thanks for sharing! I’m on that side less often, more the Absarokas.

It was very intense, but in the end we all got out safely, thankfully. >There is a bad story of a hunting guide getting killed near an elk carcass though, either Dubois or Cody area I can’t recall. Mark Uptain is probably who you're thinking of. It's dubious that he would have died if the hunter didn't abandon him. Very tragic. Anyways, I'd much rather be on this side of the Absaroka's when it comes to grizzlies!
