Andy Russell grew up in grizzly country, married a young woman who had also grown up in grizzly, and raised a family in grizzly country. The stories are the real thing, with all the wonder and humor that comes from lifetimes of experience with wildlife. This book, with Frank Duqesne's NO ROOM FOR BEARS, and Enos Mills' THE GRIZZLY, is a classic that belongs on the shelf of everyone interested in the grizzly and its future in North America.Andy Russell's Grizzly Country blends a rich history of concern for this bear with some gentle and telling words to the wise. He even got ahead of the scientists in some cases. For instance, biologists used to insist that the bears living on the coast of Alaska were not the same species as the bears living inland. Russell wryly wrote how strange it was to see a bear moving up one side of a mountain, and become another species just by crossing the ridge and moving inland, down the other side of the mountain.Russell saw grizzlies as a child, and raised his kids around the bears. He has great stories to tell, stories of humor, and depth. This is a very fine book, cover to cover.
Grizzly Country is a collection of stories of the first hand experiences of a man who lived his entire life in the wilderness with the great bears. It is a realistic view of the grizzly as he really is, not a blood and guts story of how "It's us or them" nor is it a highly emotional story about the plight of the bears, but rather a realistic view of the bear and of his past and future.Andy Russell is a man who knows the true character of the bear and has a realistic understanding of the dangers and joys of living in bear country. This book is entertaining, very informative and at many times very humorous. The format is wonderful, it is like sitting on the porch and listening to the tales of an old man's lifetime of adventures and it's never dull or boring. From his childhood to his experiences as a hunting guide and wildlife photographer in bear country, you will sense that this is a man who knows what he's talking about.Whether you are a hunter, an environmentalist or just a lover of the outdoors this is certain to be a wonderful addition to your collection.
I found this book in a book store while camping in Baniff in 1976 and immediately bought it.After reading it I made sure that I passed it around to all my camper buddies so they could have the same opportunity that I had to visualize the greatness of the Grizzly bear and their domain.I still have this copy in my library and at least once a year I take it out and read it again.Great book!!!
Great read as I read "Trails of a Wilderness Wander" also by Andy Russell and that led me to "Grizzly Country.Andy has a great way of putting the reader right there with him in his stories
Gave this book as a gift. Receiver enjoyed it a lot. Made giving a gift for a man so much easier.
I really enjoyed this book. It followed my expectations about the grizzly beasts.Ever since I was in the elementary grades, I have followed books about bears.
Very good just a little bit dry.
