Hunter survives grizzly attack. By Matthew Brown. Associated Press writer. This is a new incident in the same general area and with different bears.
On the 9th a Yellowstone Park employee who was hunting black bears was mauled by a grizzly too in the Gardiner area.
. . . . more. I have learned that this individual behaved with more sense about grizzly bears than the earlier incident with the person who is the “Safety Officer” for Yellowstone National Park who was given at least two opportunities to retreat after her first attack. He also shot and wounded the bear.
Earlier story on the attack on the Safety Officer. Yellowstone Safety Office mauled by bear.
