Bears are as individualistic as are people. This goes for the brown bear as well; possibly even more so. I cannot honestly say that a the grizzly is fearless. Where one is fearless and might challenge a bull bison, another might retreat from a cow defending her calf. Where one grizzly will follow a tiger's trail, another retreats from the same foot-prints. One grizzly is seeking a bee tree for the honey and bee larvae while another is digging up burrowing rodents. One bear is easy-going and generally gets into very few confrontations while another grizzly seems always to have a chip on his shoulder. A grizzly who dominates a domain is a bear always ready for a fight. The best food resources are his for the taking. He takes the female that catches his eye ( or nose ). This is the bear that I refer to as the "Boss of the Woods" or in some cases, "King of the Mountain". In Russia, if a tiger hunts within the Boss's Domain, the great bear has no fear of him. But he does respect the power of the tiger. It is true that on rare occasion, a big grizzly boar will displace even the biggest male tiger from his kill. But a grizzly will take this risk only when the situation is desperate. Reason being, a fight with a tiger will always result in the grizzly walking away with some ugly painful battle-scars. The tiger dislikes but also respects the great bear and for good reason. The Boss of the Woods is the one beast of the taiga which has the ability to kill him. Therefore, between the mature male tiger and the mature male grizzly is a forced mutual respect.

This is Doug Peacock, the REAL grizzly man. He could tell you more about the true nature and character of the grizzly that any hunter or biologist. He's the man.

SITTING IN A MAJOR MOUNTAIN STORM IN SEARCH OF WHAT SOME PEOPLE REGARDS AS THE FIERCEST ANIMAL ON THE CONTINENT INSTILLS A CERTAIN HUMILITY, AN ATTITUDE THAT PRIES OPEN IN ME A SURPRISING RECEPTIVENESS.

I am very familiar with this. Dong Ha, Vietnam, 1967. A day never went by without incoming; either from mortars or heavy artillery. 'Nuff said.

You can see why Doug went back to USA With his soul broken. He seen too many dead kids and destruction. The Wild and the Bears gave him new life. The bears saved his life, so he tried to save theirs.

Like Doug Peacock, Enos Mills knew the grizzly on just about a personal level.

Grizzly years: this book is exciting, one page goes from Doug’s experience in the jungles of Vietnam, with battles included, to another page that talks about Doug’s experience in the american wilderness.
By the way, i did not know that a Green beret combat medic would engage in combat.

By the way, i did not know that a Green beret combat medic would engage in combat. You have Army medics right out there in the field with the troops. When they're not, they're not far off. Military radio's save lives. Same is true with Navy Corpsman and the marines.
