Interesting and sad story, but there are a lot of questions left to be answered. Was it in self defense? Having learned to fly fish for trout on that river, it holds a special place in my heart. I have seen bears nearly every trip there, and was grateful to see such a powerful force of nature where they were meant to be. In all the runins I have had with bears there, I cannot recall one that even gave me a second glance. Hopefully this act was done in self defense, where the only real crime was that it was not reported to F&G. It will be a sad day if it was done for fun or spite.
