This doesn't surprise me. I know they are in the Wind Rivers and it's not a stretch to have one wander down to Kemmerer.

Maybe I'd find this funny if it weren't for the fact that I know the family and how tragic this is for them. I think

Sorry for the boneheaded comments people make....people don’t realize this

Thanks, but it's OK. I'm sure I've been guilty of this at times myself. It's just interesting to contemplate how

I don't get it. Did this bear have a strong taste for cancer?

Wait, is this in addition to the incident posted by Wookie?

To provide context, this happened literally feet outside of the park.

My thoughts, let them expand. Learn to live with them. Sure, open a hunting season but don’t act like that will solve

Learning to live with them will involve accepting a growing loss of human life.
