As our planned "social distancing" trip to Montana draws near, last night we learned about a grizzly attacking a US F&WS field biologist yesterday afternoon about 1 mile from our first stop, in Montana's Centennial Valley. The location is apparently within the Red Rock Lakes NWR. The biologist survived and was released from the hospital after treatment for "severe puncture wounds". News reports say the individual first saw two grizzlies, apparently juvenile 2-3 year old siblings, from 80-100 yards away and he/she deployed bear spray as one of the bears charged and attacked.
We were already planning to acquire bear spray X 2 but due to a number of factors will want to go ahead and get some now rather than have to enter retail establishments in WY, ID, or MT prior to our arrival. If anybody has purchased online and has a recommendation for brands, retailers, etc., we'd enjoy hearing about it.
