True on all counts. Their conservative estimate for grizzlies in the Greater

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

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

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

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.

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

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