Wyoming hunting guide fatally mauled by grizzly bears

A Wyoming hunting guide was fatally mauled and his client was injured when a pair of grizzly bears attacked them Friday, officials said.

Authorities later euthanized two grizzly bears, a mother and a cub, who wildlife managers believe killed guide Mark Uptain and wounded his client Corey Chubon near the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks border, according to USA Today.

“All available evidence indicates that these two bears were the bears involved in the Terrace Mountain attack,” Wyoming Game and Fish Department spokeswoman Rebekah Fitzgerald said in a statement Sunday.

Uptain and Chubon were attacked by bears as they field dressed the elk they had shot Thursday but were only able to find Friday, officials said. The bears “aggressively charged” the men and didn’t touch the dead elk, Teton County officials said.

Why shoot and kill the bear and the cub? After all we have to remember that we are fair game when it comes to hunting. The woods and forest areas are the homes to these animals and we as humans are embarking in their territory. We hunt them to kill them, but they can't hunt us to kill us? Doesn't seem fair.
