Carl Mock, 40, who lived in the park gateway community of West Yellowstone, died Saturday, two days after he was attacked while fishing alone in a forested area along the Madison River... managed to call 911 after the attack and was found after searchers looked for him for about 50 minutes.

The grizzly was killed Friday after it charged a group of seven game wardens and other personnel as they approached the scene of the attack. Several people fired at the animal and it died about 20 yards (18 meters) from the group, Jacobsen said.

Officials said they are confident the bear that was killed is the one that attacked Mock.

I could never understand people going anywhere in the wilderness without being armed with at least a .357mag and a Beowulf .50cal on an AR platform. I always do.

Haven’t heard anything from pedo joe about bear violence. When will it stop pedo joe? So, apparently bear spray didn’t do the trick or the bear tiptoed up on the vic? Yeah, woods and guns. Butt, who, for God’s sake, needs 20 rounds? So, instead of a 20 round magazine , 10 folks with 10 round magazines?

A light pump shotgun with sabot slugs. Or a Marlin guide gun in 45-70

Rabid? Odd for a Grizz to attack a large group.

Biden supporter?

[Carriage Hill]

Those’ll work nicely, too.

Maybe the bear sniffled as he plowed thru the cloud of pepper spray at 55 mph

“Grizzly Man”

At least the perp wasn’t a BLACK bear shot dead by wildlife POLICE.

Big media looking for a photo of the bear when he was a cub to show you the sweet gentle giant the rangers murdered
