Yup. Where animals are hunted, they fear and stay away from people. Where they

aren't hunted, the opposite happens. See cougar statistics for California, Washington, and Colorado versus everywhere else where they're hunted. Where they're not hunted they attack people. Where they are hunted, it practically NEVER happens. They KNOW.

They are way South of Jackson. This recent sighting is 20 miles due East of Utah

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.

It surprised me. The theory is that the population is getting so dense that it

Must have missed that part of the article.

Actually he was recently diagnosed with Cancer... decided to get mauled to death

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?

No, it's the same guy

No, same one.

Same incident. Just more info on victim.

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

He had bear spray and was walking in broad day light. Those are two of the main

Actually the most important rules are be in a group, make noise, have bear spray

Two more thoughts; I can't NOT knock CNN for having a picture of a black bear

Cnn is a joke of a network

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

Haven't we learned to live with them? It's not going well for humans or grizz.

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

There will never be sustainable populations in Utah or CO so that’s a non issue

Many want to re-introduce them to UT, CO, CA and NM.

Give them space. Build human infrastructure elsewhere. If one wants to wander
