Another bear casualty in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem -- this time in the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club -- has officials from the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department steamed about the club's poor practices regarding bears.

More bear news from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, this time from the Park itself: an overly aggressive black bear was euthanized yesterday by the National Park Service, who ruled out live capture and relocation as options to deal with a bear that had not gone after humans -- only their food. 

Bears and humans have always been an uneasy mix, but the attack by a bear -- or multiple bears, perhaps -- on a campground outside the Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone National Park that left one dead and two injured has locals wondering if anything could have been done to prevent the tragedy.

A bear tore into the Soda Butte Campground near Cooke City, off the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, killing one and injuries two others early this morning.

It's not been a good month to be a bear in Yellowstone National Park, as the third fatality was registered today after rangers took down an adult female who had grown a little too comfortable with people -- to the point where she was tearing into tents and approaching hikers.

For the second time this month, a hit-and-run driver has claimed the life of a Yellowstone bear, as the body of a cinnamon-colored female adult black bear was found in a ditch along the Grand Loop Road, east of the entrance to Blacktail Plateau Drive, about halfway between Mammoth Hot Springs and Tower Junction.
