Justin Lee likes a good steak. And what completes a good steak, in Lee’s opinion, is fresh-picked morels. On Wednesday, during his first foraging outing of the spring, Lee and his brother-in-law were looking for morel mushrooms on Lee’s property north of Choteau, Montana. They were charged by a grizzly sow, and they shot and killed the bear at close range.
“There was no time to be nervous,” Lee told us in an exclusive phone interview six days after he was charged. “No time for calculation whatsoever. We weren’t hunting bear, we just carry these guns when we’re down there in case. It just happened to be the ‘in case’ day that day.”
