Great Montana Bear Stories

I read this book after reading "Great Wyoming Bear Stories" (which was actually written after this book, and is intended to be a companion piece) and really enjoyed the stories and writing that Ben Long employed in this collection. Many of the tales go back to the late 19th/early 20th century, and into the present. I wouldnt call it a definitive book on the behavior of bears (if you are looking for that information, read something written by Stephen Herrero). Nonetheless, this is absolutely a great collection of stories concerning both grizzlies and black bears. My only complaint is that it wasnt longer. Definitely worth reading.

In this book you learn from the experiences of other people's encounters with bears. Bears are not to be trifled with, bears are not our friends or fellow forest companions, bears are wild animals and it is best to avoid all contact with an animal that will kill and eat you. The stories in this book will give any reader a health dose of fear and knowledge to learn from others who experienced it first hand.

love reading about bears and still can not belive people still go wher this bears are and than they can not see why they get attacked duh!

Slow reading, many places it repeated same information.
