As is seemingly increasingly common in this day and age, we’re rarely told the full story when many controversial topics are discussed. Case in point – a friend sent in this recent story detailing a bear interaction back in 2009 in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem that led (unfortunately for the bear and fortunately for the sportsman involved) to a bear death instead of a human death. Details of the event from eleven years ago had apparently been undisclosed up until recently.
The story link is provided without further commentary, except to say this is yet again a powerful example of why we carry bear spray and an appropriate side arm in Ursus arctos horribilis territory, particularly in the mid to late fall.
