I was just going to post that they found the bear, but as usually I'm a half-hour late and a dollar short!

here is what the DWR say http://www.wildlife.utah.gov/news/07-06 ... cident.php but they never said if the bear was younger or an older bear? any body know?

Well i guess the animal rites people will say that the bear should not have been killed, that it was the peoples fault for being in the wrong place or that the victim probally had food in his tent. That is one of the worst experinces a family should never have to go through my prayes to them, and we know he will be missed. We need to take care of more problem like this or we will have more, just like the Grizzly Man. But he pushed his luck a little to much. Please no one take this the wrong way, just a terrible accident, so terrible.
