One Possessive Griz...by Bryan about his Moose Guiding

Our hunter shot a bull moose we'd called out on the far side of the lake. Next morning a Big Grizzly showed up and laid claim to the guts and hide. He dragged them off into the willows and spent most of the day trying to chase Ravens off. He was very possessive and quite comical, running first to the beach then back to his stash ....then back to the beach. The Ravens would fly off the beach to his stash .....it went on and on all day. Later in the evening another Bull Moose came out into the lake. We were done hunting moose and our Norwegian hunters wanted pictures. We were about 50 yards out in the lake from where the bear had his gut pile when the Bear came rushing out onto the beach..... his front feet flying high as his shoulders in a display of aggression (much like a man would wave his arm to scare something off). He stood on the beach on all fours rolling his eyes ...showing the whites....THIS WAS A BEAR NOT TO FOOL WITH. We quickly moved off and got our pictures of the moose swimming across the lake. The griz moved back to his pile but stood up on his back legs to check that he had scared us off. The time with our Norwegian hunters was great fun. We had lots of laughs and a really great experience. All the meat was taken into town to be hung and then processed, but I was able to debone 170 lbs and bring it back with me in the small plane. We now have lots of meat for the winter.snow is coming to our lake.
