When I used to spend summers up in Montana near Big Timber, I always enjoyed reading the Billings Gazette for stories about dumbasses in Yellowstone and Glacier Park who thought they were in a giant petting zoo. It also seemed most of the people who got mauled, gored, stomped, etc. were from California. My favorite was a picture a guy took of a sow grizzly as she charged at him. He took the shot just before she bit into his shoulder and you could see the ridges on the roof of her mouth. He went up a trail that had been closed and had a sign on it stating that it was due to a dangerous grizzly in the area! She wandered into his campsite before dawn, eating a box of crackers and whatnot that he had lying around his sleeping bag.
He did survive the mauling, however. I hope he never had kids, because odds are with an imbecile like that for a father, the lack of any good sense would be passed on.
