Yes, even I could follow that blood trail. I could probably even find the bear. What happened there?

Bear dropped right there and didn’t move for 15 mins. We walked up to em and he jumped up and ran off into the bear condo (alders). 4 shots later and the world is a safer place 😂

I imagine there will be a run on candles in the coming years. It appears the grizzlies are saturating the Yellowstone area, and those young studs will continue to look for some ground of their own. Since most of the good bear food between there and the Bighorns is tied to humans, no rocket science is required to determine the results.

On another note- just read the latest CJ Box book- this could be a chapter right out of it!

I thought it was something like that. A wounded Grizz in the alders would not be my favorite thing to do. Glad it turned out well.

Hiker killed in suspected grizzly attack near West Yellowstone

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. — A woman was found dead from an apparent grizzly bear encounter Saturday morning near West Yellowstone, Montana, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP). A hiker reported a deceased woman on a trail near Custer Gallatin National Forest’s Buttermilk area, about...

"Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks staff shot and killed the food-conditioned bear in the Yellowstone River on July 18 after it broke into multiple homes almost every night for nearly two months, sometimes while residents were inside, McClatchy News previously reported."

I know if a bear breaks into my house and I'm home I'll call Fish and Wildlife and tell them to come and get their bear, but no hurry. He'll be here when you get here.
 
Another today ! Elk hunters attacked and the Bear was shot and slain with both hunters opening fire.

Here's a good one. 2 hunters were attacked near Yellowstone again. A Sow with 2 Cubs charged, and the Hunters killed the Sow. Then the Cubs charged, and one was injured . They haven't found the Cubs.
Where it gets funny- Montana F&G made a list of safety advice for Hunters. Bear Spray was on the list and that's good for Bow Hunters. What got me is the list had " making noise" so you don't surprise Bears. Now if they are going to a stand, that's OK too. I'm not a Bow Hunter. It's just that making noise alerts the game. Maybe some of you Bow Hunters chime in on this. I'm ready for serious or laughter. It's all good.
 
Here’s an interesting story. Wasn’t killed by a bear, but was eaten by one.

“He told one of his younger sisters at one point a few years ago that when he died, he wanted to die in the wilderness and have wolves eat him,” Leslie said.

In the end, his wishes proved borderline prophetic.

Stew died in his tent, it appeared, and was pulled out by a bear. His body was found about a month later by a horseback riding outfitter.”

With no phone, wallet or car, he died in the Colorado wilderness, leaving $30,000 to the food bank

As long as Cheriese Carrasco has worked at the Budget Inn Durango – over six years now – Stew Scheppegrell would appear every 12 days during the summer. He restocked on food, collected his mail at th...

Do you know what part of the state that the three grizzlies you are talking about were shot
 
Now bear 399 is dead. Been reading some comments last couple days. It's like a actual queen died. Some people act like it was their own mother died. The bear was 28 years old .

Any idea what happened in these instances? Were they shot by hunters packing meat, hiking and bear just charged them, bear coming into camps?
Thanks

One father/son were working on elk meat when grizzlies came in.

The others I didn't ask what they were doing

Remember when bears were scared of humans?
You know like the wolves are now?
Start shooting a few and they will wise up.

I don't think that shooting grizzly bears will make them afraid of humans. That being said, I am in favor of a hunting season as soon as possible. And wolves were always scared. At least the ones I have seen. mtmuley
 
I understand your points and think we are both correct.
I remember a time when the wolves didn't much care. Then we started hunting them. They are a different critter now.
Surprise a bear. Good luck.
 
Different times and different environments. One thing that hasn’t changed is: griz is still griz and peep is still peep.

Griz do what he do, and peep do what he do. That ain’t gonna change for a good long time.
 
As of today, 50 grizzly bears have been taken down in this calendar year. self defense, natural causes, cars and so on. if you include small parts of Montana the number is 70 dead bears

As i was reading the article climate change is a big factor. hmmmm lets not mention the overpopulated bears. i had to quit reading before i got more pissed
