What is the origin and context of this Montana grizzly attack story?
Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of Tooth and Claw. Today we have a bit of a special treat for you all. This is actually an episode that we posted to our subscriber feeds a long time ago. Wes led it. It's about a grizzly bear attack that happened up in Montana back in the 1950s. A really cool story. A lot to learn from it. Wes did an awesome job. He actually found this while he was preparing his Night of the Grizzlies series that he did forever ago. And he did an amazing job. I'll just say that for him. He wouldn't say it himself. I'm going to say it for him right now. But we just wanted to say that if this is something that you do enjoy and you want some more of it, we keep things a little more loose but still educational over on our subscriber feeds.
We have 150 or so and counting subscriber exclusive episodes. And most of those episodes are led by Jeff and me, but Wes did tell me recently that he wants to get more involved and start making more bonus episodes over there as well. So if you want more Tooth and Claw, or if you want some animal content that's a little off the beaten path, or even things like we talk a lot about sports, movies, all kinds of different stuff, we're posting a lot of bonus content over on Patreon. Anyway, just wanted to give a quick introduction to this episode, where it came from, why it sounds like maybe there's some outdated references in there. I've done enough talking, though. Let's get to the episode. Take it away, Wes.
Let's go.
Hey guys.
Hey. Hey. We're here.
Here with a couple crybabies. My dudes. Yeah. I cry in movies. I cried in everything, everywhere, all at once.
That's not the name.
Yeah, it is.
It's everything, all the time, everywhere, all the time. Every time.
I cried a couple times. I went and saw it by myself.
I felt it coming when I saw it, and I just was like, you can't cry. You will not cry. You're a man. Good. That sounds healthy. I buried it. Yeah. And then, Mike, you cried in The Northman.
Yeah. It was a hard... I dare anyone to go see that movie and not cry. I saw it yesterday, and I didn't cry. When they're having sex in the forest, and you're like, oh, I wish that were me. Hey, Mike. What's up? How do you feel about Montana? You know, actually feel about it. It's in like the 60th percentile of places that I like, you know, it's above average. What's above it? That's a good question. I mean, like, I don't know, probably Hawaii. I like Mexico a lot. Yeah. I like any of, like, Southeastern Asian countries I've ever been to probably more. How about as far as states go? States. Hawaii? Let's go with... Do you like California more? South and North Dakota. What? Let's go with... Alaska? Wisconsin. They got some good cheese.
All right. Go Panthers. Never mind.
I just asked because when we first became friends, you kind of had a bit almost where you hated Montana or it wasn't that you hated it, but you were comparing it to Colorado. Yeah. And you would send me like photos of like rocks and streams and be like, look how beautiful this is. And I think we've talked about this on the podcast before, but it would be like the most weirdly disturbing photos that you would send over, like.
somehow you managed just to capture the ugliest looking creek in the world and they're just so boring and disturbing and then you would be like look at colorado look how beautiful it is i didn't think it was disturbing but it was like it'd just be like a rock with like no like backdrop i shouldn't be like a picture of a rock and then he'd be like here's montana then he'd show like a mountain range and be like and here's colorado
It wasn't disturbing. It was more like just cold and industrial. He would like make a creek look like, yeah, I don't know, like a creek that I imagine in like Newark, New Jersey would look like.
Yeah, I have a real gift, a real artistic eye.
The thing was it bugged you the first time you did it, Wes, because you're like, that's not fair. And then that just lit a fire under him to do it for the next three years.
So I'm the kind of person, and this speaks very poorly of the kind of person that I am, but when someone gets really, really excited and proud of something that they want to share with me.
