A survivor of a grizzly bear attack reflects on the incident and concludes that “It Really Wasn’t the Bear’s Fault”. The bear attack happened not far from the man’s home near Cody, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park. He has lived in the presence of bears for a long time but it only took one instance to not be prepared for it to almost be his last bear encounter. I’m not sure the pepper spray would have helped him when the bear first attacked as it closed so fast but it might have helped when the bear returned. I’m sure as much as he loves his dog he would back away when he heard the dog barking if he could do it all over again.
