Grizzly Bear Locations – Hunter Safety – Be Prepared

November 1st, 2011 CWN

There are about 600 grizzlies in the Yellowstone area alone. Grizzly bears live, hunt and forage in a radius of about 500 miles, which includes parts of Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.

When ever hunting or visiting the state of Wyoming, Montana or Idaho you need to keep in mind that this is grizzly country. In the past several months grizzly bears have been exceedingly active in the area. This past summer alone, there were 2 deaths  in Yellowstone National Park due to Grizzly encounters. These deaths were that of hikers who were hiking in Yellowstone Park. These hikers were not carrying bear spray.

Grizzly bears are wondering just outside of town too.

Just Published on Amazon – Cody Wyoming Visitor Guide

September 17th, 2011 CWN

I confess. I’ve been super busy acting like a tourist here in Cody, Wyoming! Why would I do that? I’ve been doing the research for Cody Wyoming – A Visitor Guide, my latest book. Even though I’ve lived in Cody for 17 years, I needed to “revisit” the town and see it through the eyes of the tourist. I had to overlook the fact fact that I live here and see these things everyday.

This is what I learned about this little town I live in. It’s amazing! There are so many things to do here that if I was vacationing I would absolutely come to Cody! Especially if I lived overseas or in a big City. Yellowstone is only 52 miles away.  What seems like a hour drive takes about two. The landscape is so gorgeous that you really don’t want to drive very fast or you may miss it. There are many things to see along the way too.

Tragedy Strikes Again Yellowstone Grizzly Mauling Results in Another Hikers Death

September 2nd, 2011 CWN

As the sun rose on August 24th, warming the Hayden Valley of Yellowstone park, one man set out to enjoy the beauty and serenity one can only find in this wild, untamed land. Unknown to him, it was his last day on earth.

The body of 59 year old John Wallace was discovered August 26th by 2 hikers less than 10 miles from where another hiker was killed by a female grizzly on July 6th. Apparently he was camping and hiking alone without bear spray right smack in the middle of grizzly country when he was killed. With more than 600 grizzly bears in Yellowstone who are known to frequent the Hayden Valley regularly, I can’t help but wonder what was this man thinking?

Be Smart or Be Mauled

Yellowstone Backcountry Hike Turns Deadly As Couple Encounters Grizzly

July 7th, 2011 CWN

I didn’t hear about the grizzly attack until I went into the Irma Hotel Wednesday evening. News travels fast in a small town, and a grizzly mauling spreads like wildfire between residents and tourists alike.

While many are out hiking and enjoying the scenery in Yellowstone this time of year, mother grizzlies are out and about teaching their cubs how to forage for food. This is prime time to take precautions when traveling through Yellowstone. It is always great to see the Grizzlies, especially sows with cubs, but it is absolutely necessary to carry bear mace when walking or hiking ANYWHERE in Yellowstone.
