Got family who have the Bitterroot Mountains just across the River. They camp a lot too. If it were me, I’d be packing but they don’t at all, ever. Topic- range of a grizzly bear. Yikes.

A bear gotta do what a bear gotta do.

I have actually watched that happen here in Alaska, out west in mosquito creek.

Why do they do that if they're not going to eat them? is it like a feeding frenzy only without eating? a big party for one bear? The article makes it sound like it is predatory kills, but not for food. just wondering...

They simply can't help it......it is their nature.

A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature.

Yellowstone had one that likes camper septic lines. I went in to the shop to buy a new one because something chewed ours up overnight and the cashier called the park ranger and told him "shes back". Apparently they have to catch and mover her to the far side of the park and it takes her 2 weeks to walk back.

Yellowstone! But the rangers hang out because the fools will want to go up and pet them. I saw one in Yellowstone, from the road and asked the ranger there was that speck was in the distance. A grizzly. And people parked along the road were chomping at the bit to go to it.

There was a story of a cougar, mountain lion, that had been tagged in the Black Hills and found later in New York state.
