My favorite was the “look-at-me” girl, Tanna, explaining her newfound skills at managing post-traumatic stress. Good grief.

An uncle & I were out hunting late in the day and charged by a grizz protecting a kill we did not know about. A 100 yrd surprise bluff charge came faster than you could imagine and ended 20 ft away from us when it turned around, sure was a pucker moment as our rifles were in the gun boots. Were we traumatized, no, were we wound up after and had a couple calming pops back at camp, yup. PTSD from it, nope.
Now I get that bear was wounded and after them, that situation vs ours a 1000 plus times more stressful. I wonder why she was not packing a rifle for back up? Did I miss something in the vid?
Every mountain Grizz hunting vid I watch, everyone has a rifle. Everyone unloads on the bear at the first hint of it going sideways. Lots of mistakes, no one expects a rifle malfunction, she should have had one too. Might have ended better for the bear if she did.
