YELLOWSTONE GRIZZLY
It is that time of year again...fall is in the air here at Yellowstone. The bison rut is pretty much over and done for the year - the elk are gathering their harems and bugling to attract more ladies to join their groups.
The bears know that the snows are not that far away and they are getting ready for hibernation. That means they are looking for additional food in order to make it through the winter. Consequently, there has been an increase in the bear sightings lately.
A couple of months ago, I was at the store at Fishing Bridge in the Park. I was on the way back to my car when I looked up and there - not 50 feet away from me -- was a young grizzly just ambling through the parking lot on his way to the woods just across the road. Must say - I was a bit startled. He simply ignored everything and shuffled on his merry way.
Naturally, my camera was in the car and the bear was between me and the card - therefore - you do not have a picture of that particular bear! Never thought to pull out my phone and take a picture.
Can't promise you will see a bear when you are in the Park but at this time of year - your chances have increased.
