Your Constantly Updating Yellowstone Fly Fishing Resource
Couple of items of interest from the early news today…..
A hunter was apparently attacked by a sow grizzly and cub near Gardiner yesterday on the opening day of big-game season. Bozeman’s paper has a very short story out this morning – and we heard a bit through the hunter grapevine yesterday. Sounds like a guy […]
Yesterday’s Cody Enterprise ran a very interesting story about a father – son elk hunt that spawned a grizzly encounter along the South Fork (Shoshone) near Cody. Here’s a link to the full story – we’re not sure how long it will be up but it’s worth a read.
Most of our team bow hunts for […]
An article by Tom Smith, PhD, a bear research biologist who by report studied bear-human conflicts in Alaska for the past seventeen years, appeared in the West Yellowstone News this past week.
While focused on hunter-bear encounters, Smith offers some interesting stats –
What position do bear biologists take in this debate? I can’t speak for others, […]
Yet another sign that spring isn’t that far off - bear sign was noted over the weekend in the central section of the park near a bison carcass. We’ve been out and about a fair amount the past few weeks and haven’t seen any sign, but the tracks found in the Park over the weekend […]
Even the Boss Has a Close Call Now and Then…..
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commissioner Vic Workman survived a close encounter with a grizzly bear Sunday when hunting north of Whitefish. It appears he and a friend came upon a grizzly burying a dead deer, the grizzly charging from 30 feet away.
Workman apparently yelled “whoa […]
Tom Remington authored a very interesting piece on the Black Bear Blog yesterday on the efficacy (usefulness or effectiveness) of bear spray in detering a bear attack. The post is titled Bear Spray vs. Bullets, and while written more or less from a hunter’s perspective, anyone who spends time in the backwoods in bear country should […]
Mark Henckel, the Outdoor Editor of the Billings Gazette, has written a thoughtful article published today in the Gazette regarding the human / bear interaction issues which have seemingly sprung to the forefront this year in the Yellowstone area and in fact around Montana. This link will take you right to the story.
While the article […]
Here’s part of an article written about the encounter by Scott McMillion of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle today……
This marks the fifth bear attack on a hunter this year in Park County. Though details are still sketchy, it sounds like this man, whose name was not released, suffered the most severe injuries of the four hunters who were injured […]
Though not in the immediate YNP area (this was up closer to Glacier NP), the Great Falls Tribune’s Karl Puckett reported and interesting story yesterday…..
Carl Haggar of East Glacier was walking along a steep ravine in dense timber late Tuesday morning when he saw a bear cub flee up the other side of the ravine. At […]
From the YNP News Center….
A section of Yellowstone National Park west of the town of Gardiner, Montana, has been temporarily closed for the second time this fall to address bear-human safety concerns.
