There is a stir among environmentalists: The Wyoming Game and Fish has ordered that twenty-two permits be issued for trophy hunting of grizzly bears, with hunting starting September 1. For those who do not live around grizzlies, and are upset by this news, I would like to shed some light on this seemingly “grizzly” topic.
I have lived in Wyoming all my life. As a child, and later when my children were small, the greatest adventure in the summer was to go camping in the mountains or take the loop through Yellowstone and Teton Parks. We took our tents, sleeping bags, and coolers of food, and prepared to get dirty, happy, and relaxed. It was a great time; there is nothing like getting back to nature deep in the wilds.
