Here's how DMW's rough and tough Montanans handle the situation after some hiker goes "acting an indiot".

The Avalanche Lake Trail in Glacier National Park was closed for a few days last week after a man and a woman encountered a bear on the trail June 5.

The bear did no harm, but the woman apparently broke her arm after her husband pushed her away from the bruin and she fell.

Aka, he shoved her ass out of the way so he could run, breaking her arm in the process.

so is it still closed. I mean how are they going to find this bear if they don't put "bait" out?

They bought it an iphone 4 with the RRG Climbs app on it. He knows where to find us.

Look up black bear attacks in north america. They apparently do sometimes treat people as prey and have attacked mountainbikers, runners, hikers that are not even aware of the bear until it is attacking them. I ran up on two black bears at Bear Creek on my mountain bike last year. They didn't attack me though. They were polite and went up the hillside.
