Concerns about potential bear incidents have prompted Gallatin National Forest officials to allow only hard-sided campers in three Cooke City-area campgrounds, including one where a rampaging bear killed a man last summer.

The autopsy is in on the mother grizzly who killed one and mauled two last week at Soda Butte Campgound in Cooke City just outside Yellowstone National Park, and the results are pretty dull: she was a little light but otherwise healthy, as experts continue to examine the results of a necropsy to determine whether something physical led the bear to go on the rampage.

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.

A man well-aware of the risks of hiking in an area inhabited by grizzly bears was mauled and killed by one Thursday near the Yellowstone National Park East Entrance -- hours after U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service workers had outfitted the bear with a radio collar.
