Phil, welcome to the board, I enjoy reading your posts and appreciate the experience you bring to the board. I've got a question for you somewhat related to this topic:

How would you compare the good old grizzly bear in our western lower 48 states ? I'm not talking about actually hunting them because they're fully protected, but just hunting other big game in their territory such as the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, or around Glacier or in their densely populated areas in Canada. I'm thinking of the chance bear encounters you hear of each year where a hunter stumbles across a bear on a kill, or getting between a sow & her cubs or a couple 3 year olds acting like teenagers.

I'm curious what your thoughts are on the old silvertip compared to the big 5 based on your experience.
