Very tragic indead. I feel terrible for the family.
Just to give a thought. On the news article the grandfather states that they are putting blame on the Forest Service for not warning the public better that there are bears in the area.
How is the forest service going to post thousands of miles of forest to warm about bear??
Sorry if I come across a little rude but come on people. Now everyone in in a uproar. They believe that Utah should get strickter bear laws..
Their theory is
(Lets wipe them all out and then we wont worry about the problem)
This is the first bear attack that was fatal in the State of Utah.
I hear people comming up to the Uinitas all the time, mention" I didnt know there was bear up here" DUH
Well, what do you expect when you go camping in the mountains??
2 weeks ago my good friend took dogs to the bookcliffs hunting bear.
They caught 16 bear in 5 days. I say give a couple more tags out a year. But, as far as shooting to kill because there was a bear attack.
That will not solve any problem. Next it will be the lions and then moose.
I bothers me to listen to the enviromentalists, Sorry I offended anyone.

Is there anywhere in the west that is not bear country anymore?
The grandparents are obviously hurt deeply and are searching for something to blame the loss on, something to lash out at. I think it is a natural reaction and am inclined to give them a pass at this point.
My heart really goes out to the family and I hope they can find some comfort.
I think the USFS does a great job of posting bear danger as do most states.
