bears

A pilot spotted the first bear coming out of hibernation in Yellowstone.

We pride ourselves on western hospitality. That apparently includes bears as one just came in a Montana ranch gate and helped himself to the benefits.

It seems to me, and I could be wrong, they are kind of a Montana tourist thing. Not that locals don't enjoy them, because they do, but it seems like every time I see them, it's either in the Airport in the "Montana" section or in the "Montana" section of the grocery store or a local gift shop.

I half-expected to hear Looney Tunes music playing in the background. Hunters just shared video showing a wolf chasing a coyote while a bull elk and grizzly watched in Yellowstone National Park.

There are some animals that are illegal to own in Montana, but lions and tigers aren't on that list.

Luckily the black bear has some skills to get away from grizzly bears.

I've shared a lot of moments involving bears surprising people, but normally it's not from the Dakotas. That changes now as I have located video from a group of hikers in South Dakota who had a bear scare them off their trail.

Some call grizzly #399 the "Queen of the Tetons". This famous momma bear debuted four new cubs this spring - a rarity for a grizzly bear.

I invited him over to my house to watch the Packers and Bears this weekend.

... honk their horn and drive away if a bear approaches and touches their vehicle after two cases of bears approaching cars.
