That's what I mean by Parks being a bit too stringent with these very limiting rules in a specific area of land that in many places has no marked boundaries. They're run like their own states within a country.
I swear the parks and people running them value animal lives well above human lives and their rules reflect that. In the ultra remote red deer valley that's a known grizzly corridor you should absolutely be allowed bear bangers for protection. We could be talking about the difference between one or more of these people surviving or not if they were allowed and encouraged the extra protective measures.

Are bear bangers not allowed in national parks? I had assumed they were.

Tragic, but at least there could be some knowledge gained.

Will be interesting to see what details emerge, if released. The fact the bear was able to kill two people and a dog and the people we able to get out an SOS alert in some form makes me assume the event was not a short one. That must have been absolutely terrifying.
