Mark of the Grizzly
True Stories of Recent Bear Attacks and the Hard Lessons Learned
by Scott McMillion




I have never experienced true horror. Being mauled by an animal that weighs between 300 and 800 punds (and sometimes larger) proves to be a most horrific experience. Most people live to tell of their maulings. "Mark of the Grizzly" tells of the stories of men and women, some young and some old, who have been attacked by grizzly bears. It tells of more than one description of the tooth of a grizzly running along the scalp. More than one story of popping bones and crunching of faces. I cannot underestimate the gruesomeness of these attacks.

More often than not a bear attack changes the life of the mauling victim, both physically and psychologically. Surprizingly, the victim usually does not call for the death of the bear. The victim claims to have earned the respect for the bear - the power, the ferocity, the intelligence. Sometimes the vitim simply states "I was in the bears home, she was not in mine. I should've known better."
