Grizzly

Officials say the man encountered a female grizzly bear with yearling offspring.

Once Smith was out of the area, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department began investigating the scene.

Most bear attacks result from surprise encounters when hikers startle bears at close distances and the bears react with defensive aggression.

We all know that grizzly bears are insanely strong creatures and that when it comes to good food, they will stop at nothing to get what they want. This video shows just how determined this guy is to get his lunch. (This may not be safe for all eyes, so please use caution when viewing.)

All trapping and handling are done in accordance with strict protocols developed by the group known as the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team.

Two defendants are from Cheyenne.

Being a felon in possession of a firearm is punishable by up to 10 years of imprisonment and a fine up to $275,000.

An award winning Wyoming photographer beautifully captured Wyoming's landscape and wildlife.

Firearms are allowed in the park, but any discharge of a firearm by visitors would constitute a violation of park rules.

The attack comes just a day after 50-year-old Todd Orr of Montana was attacked twice by a grizzly bear while on a scouting trip.
