We are well acquainted with the troopers, helicopter pilot and NPS employees who investigated and cleaned up the remains and eventually shot the bear (s). A second bear showed up shortly after the initial boar was killed, probably attracted by the smell of meat, and the rangers killed it as well.
The NPS employee who shot the bear with the 40 cal handgun now carries a .50 S&W in his airplane.
We also keep the Treadwell movie "Grizzly Man" in camp as his footage was well done. But he was a suicidal egomaniac. We also have a copy of the spoof " Grizzly Bear Man" and it is spot on.
