Wildlife officials are urging hunters to use caution in a couple of hunting units due to grizzly bear activity in the area, a place where grizzly bears are not usually located.
A grizzly bear attacked an elk hunter who surprised the sow and her cub north of Yellowstone National Park, with the bear sinking her teeth into his arm and clawing his eye before another hunter drove her off, the victim recounted Monday.
A federal district judge on Monday ordered that federal protection of grizzly bears be reinstated in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which includes parts of Idaho.
Opponents of grizzly bear hunts in Wyoming and Idaho asked a judge Wednesday for another two-week delay while he considers if federal protections for the animals should be restored.
A young grizzly bear that was previously enjoying life in Idaho is now spending the remainder of its days at a wildlife sanctuary in the Lone Star State.
