A Bear Release Gone Bad

Loyd | October 6, 2009

Reader Carrie sent in these photos of a bear release gone bad. No, this isn’t Yosemite but it’s a great example why your job isn’t so bad. Click on the photo to view a larger image.

Ouch! Thanks for passing that along, Carrie.

    Looks like this one’s from 1987. Mr. Google dug this up from the 6/26/87 _NYT_: http://tinyurl.com/yasnnvs

    And a 2008 _Field and Stream_ photo series w/ commentary identifying the ranger as Lou Kis, matching the 1987 _NYT_: http://tinyurl.com/ye7dxdw

    Pretty remarkable.
