Excerpt: ...been reached and its remains left scattered about. As the squirrels hibernate at least a month before the bears do, they evidently are a great help in enabling the bears to lay in sufficient fat for their winter's store. There is no evidence that the bears molest any large game, and the scouts and old hunters and trappers say that they do not. As they are great scavengers, and quickly locate dead animals, they are trapped mainly by the use of meat bait. In this way great numbers of game animals have been destroyed by trappers for bear bait, and as late as June 22 I have found bear traps baited with freshly killed deer and goats. Moose and elk have also suffered severely in this way before the Glacier Park was created and put under proper supervision. As the establishment of Glacier Park was comparatively recent, the bears have not yet gathered about hotel and camp garbage piles as they do in Yellowstone Park, but they will soon learn, and under proper management of the garbage they can be made a perfectly safe and very attractive feature of the animal life of the park. A place for the garbage might be selected in the open, close to the edge of the woods, but where the bears can be plainly seen and readily photographed, and where no one would accidentally come upon them unnoticed at very close quarters; then a tourist-proof fence could be erected in a semicircle at a safe distance around the open side of the garbage. This would not only allow the bears to have some peace and quiet in which to enjoy their meals and enable the visitors to watch them at reasonably close range, but would prevent interference with the bears by the few foolhardy visitors who do not realiza that a bear, while a most respectful and dignified animal, has not...

Download or read book Night of the Grizzlies written by Jack Olsen and published by Crime Rant Books. This book was released on 1969 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century, grizzly bears roamed free in the national parks without causing a human fatality. Then in 1967, on a single August night, two campers were fatally mauled by enraged bears -- thus signaling the beginning of the end for America's greatest remaining land carnivore. Night of the Grizzlies, Olsen's brilliant account of another sad chapter in America's vanishing frontier, traces the causes of that tragic night: the rangers' careless disregard of established safety precautions and persistent warnings by seasoned campers that some of the bears were acting "funny"; the comforting belief that the great bears were not really dangerous -- would attack only when provoked. The popular sport that summer was to lure the bears with spotlights and leftover scraps -- in hopes of providing the tourists with a show, a close look at the great "teddy bears." Everyone came, some of the younger campers even making bold enough to sleep right in the path of the grizzlies' known route of arrival. This modern "bearbaiting" could have but one tragic result…

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Animals of Glacier National Park: The Mammals, With Notes on Physiography and Life Zones Glacier National Park lies in northwestern Montana, along the main range Of the Rocky Mountains from the Canadian boundary south to the Great Northern Railway. From the rugged crest of the Continental Divide it descends on the east to the edge of the Great Plains, and on the west to the dense forests of the Flathead Valley. Its sinuous and spiny backbone forms one Of the roughest ranges on the Continent; and, while its highest peaks reach an elevation but little above feet, it has all the appearance of a more lofty range, for the timberline is low and its upper slopes and peaks reach far into the snow and glacier-laden arctic-alpine Zone. Its steep and jagged sides are deeply cut and furrowed by ancient glaciers, and the old glacial troughs are now filled by long, deep lakes of wonderful purity and beauty. Some of the smaller lakes are still milky from the grinding of the glaciers above them, but those farther from the ice throw back from transparent depths the deepest shades of blue and green. The long lake valleys on both sides of the range extend out between riblike lateral ridges almost as high and rugged as the dorsal crest of the range. In fact some of the highest peaks rise from these lateral ridges, while the main divide has been eaten through by the ice in notches that serve as the only available passes for present trails and future highways.
