The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has reported that a black bear attacked a man in the Henderson Canyon area of the state on July 31, as he opened his garage door.
The headline today is "Wrong Dog." Caleb and I checked his wolf trapline. He caught a coyote in a leghold trap designed for a wolf. In fact wolves frequented the area after the coyote was trapped. They might have given the lesser canine fits—but why they didn't kill it is a mystery. Anyway, we could tell there had been a ruckus.
An Idaho family had a close shave last Friday, August 12, when their four-year-old daughter was attacked and nearly dragged away from a campfire by a mountain lion.
The first grizzly bear hunts to be held in Wyoming and Idaho in more than 40 years have now been suspended following a federal judge's ruling just two days before the states' scheduled openers.
