a sheep hunter passed away from a bear attack the other day in southern alberta, makes a guy think twice about doing a solo trip

Last year I tested myself, to see if I could pull off a goat or a sheep hunt. Finding them was the easy part, getting to them with a camera was impossible for me.  Because of a crazy inner ear thing, I found myself in an extremely dangerous situation. I can imagine that exhaustion from moving a downed animal may have played a roll in getting this individual into trouble. The goats that I found were in the most precarious places, getting them out would have required a team with climbing gear.

Still a better way to go than your last 3 months in hospice in the fetal position with a crap filled diaper.............

Prayers will be made for his family. As terrible as this is, he at least died doing something he loved. Please don't think I am making light of his death, but as hvyhitter indicated, there can be worse circumstances under which to die.
