Deadly Bear Attack In Montana Just Outside Yellowstone
When a female bear rampaged through Soda Butte Campground in Montana on Wednesday, two were injured and one man was killed. This Montana bear attack seems to have been unprovoked, though the National Park Service is investigating. Camping in National Parks is generally very safe, but this attack proves that wild animals are, at times, dangerous.
Bear attack in Montana's Soda Butte
The Soda Butte Montana bear attack began at about 2 a.m. on 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.
Bear was not specifically attracted to the campground
Usually, campers in bear country are warned to avoid bears at all costs. There do not appear to be any indications how the Montana bear attack was specifically provoked. All of the campers at the Soda Butte campground had their food in bear boxes, and no bear attractants appear to have been left out. 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
There are other bear attacks in the Soda Butte Campground 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.
Safeguarding yourself from bear attack
You will find a few, very simple things you are able to do to protect yourself from bears. First, keep any and all food in either a bear-proof container, inside a vehicle or hung 10 feet up and 4 feet out from any tree. Use wildlife-safe containers for any and all trash. Lastly, sleep at least 100 yards from cooking areas and food storage.
