black bears

Wyoming is home to both black bears and grizzly bears and when you have bears, seeing bear activity is fairly common.

Recently had the chance to chat with Wyoming Game & Fish's Large Carnivore Supervisor for the entire state of Wyoming Dan Thompson about bear safety.

This is not the story of the Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears that you grew up with, but it is still a very cute story, that just so happens to also involve three little bears.

I don't consider myself a bear expert and wouldn't advise that you take any tips from me on how to survive a potential bear encounter. However, I don't think what I've found is the right way to do it. It's video shared by a hunter who had a mama bear and cub investigate his tree stand with him still in it.

Just in case you were tempted to underestimate the power of a bear, watch this. It's a black bear trapped in a family's van. He escapes by literally exploding the window from the inside.

What does a bear have to do to get good service these days? That seems to be what a mama bear and cubs were wondering as they took over a picnic table and appeared to be waiting on a waitress.
