“Back in the sixties, a Yellowstone ranger had a campfire slide show at our campground.”
In the 80’s a French photographer (no selfie-sticks) gave his camera to another tourist so that the Frenchman could be photographed standing next to a bison.
The photo snapped was of the bison removing the head of the Frenchman and tossing it 60.’
I saw a bear two days ago on my street...I still live in Montana and YNP is just south...
It’s best not to mess with the wildlife...
My MIL and SIL live in Arden, NC (just outside of Asheville). Their suburban neighborhood has been overrun with bears the last 3 years. Before people go out of their houses, they set off their car alarms to get the bears to move across the street. And no one puts garbage in their outdoor garbage cans until the morning the stuff is supposed to be picked up.
They said several times they’ve seen joggers running up the street with a bear trotting behind them.
