Wildlife filmmaker Jake Davis of Jackson, Wyoming found an elk carcass that generated images and stories the ages. It’s a six-by-six bull elk that he initially saw on a snow-covered hill near his hometown in February. One day the bull was standing near a road with flesh ripped from its neck and flank. The next day it was dead under an evergreen tree. Davis knew if wolves had caused the injuries, they’d be back so he set a camera trap.

Justin Lee likes a good steak. And what makes a good steak, in Lee’s opinion, is fresh-picked morels. On Wednesday, during his first foraging expedition of the spring, Lee and his brother-in-law were searching for morel mushrooms on Lee’s property north of Choteau, Montana. They were charged by a grizzly sow, and they shot and killed the bear at close range. “There was no time to be nervous,” Lee tells Outdoor Life in an exclusive phone interview just six days after he was charged.

Officials at Yellowstone National Park haven’t had to kill a grizzly bear inside the park since 2017. That changed Wednesday, when they trapped and euthanized a 400-pound grizzly that had become food-conditioned and was a risk to public safety. In a press release, NPS officials explained that the 11-year-old male bear had become notorious for seeking out human food by flipping over dumpsters and uprooting trash cans.
