One man was killed and two individuals were injured in an unprovoked bear attack just a few miles outside Yellowstone National Park. The National Park Service has already launched an investigation to the attacks. While camping is normally very safe, this attack highlights that wild animals could be very dangerous.
Soda Butte Campground bear attack
The bear attack in Montana’s Soda Butte Campground started in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. One man was killed, a teenager was left with calf wounds and one woman was badly mauled. The bear attacked three separate tents, and rangers evacuated the campground as soon as the dead man was found.
Anchoring yourself with the dealer’s guidance
Campers who are in bear country are generally warned to do every little thing they can to keep away from bears. There do not appear to be any indications the Montana bear attack was specifically provoked. Rangers said they did not find any food or attractants outside bear boxes. If the bear was living by the campground, the very busy campground could have made her feel like she was in danger.
Gallatin National Forest has had many bear attacks
Soda Butte Campground, in the Gallatin National Forest, has been the location of bear attacks within the past. Yellowstone National Park is about 10 miles away from the 27-campside Soda Butte Campground. In 2008, a grizzly bear attacked one man in a tent. The bear that was involved in that attack was captured.
Avoiding the danger of bear attacks
If you are out camping in bear country, there are a couple of simple steps you are able to take to help stay away from bear attack. First, keep any and all food in either a bear-proof container, inside a automobile or hung 10 feet up and 4 feet out from any tree. Use wildlife-safe containers for any and all trash. Finally, you need to sleep at least 300 feet from your cooking areas.
