There's a lot of things about this attack that don't add up. The victim was supposedly fishing and was supposedly south of Bakers Hole campground. The Madison River south of the campground crosses into Yellowstone less than 100 yards from the southeastern edge of the campground. I've fished that part of the river for 40+ years and know that ground very well. Problem is that the fishing season in YNP doesn't open until Memorial Day weekend. It took 50 minutes for the rescue team to find the guy using snow machines. There's not enough area where the fellow was supposedly found that would take 5 minutes to search much less 50 minutes. The river takes a pronounced turn to the east just south of the campground and doesn't turn south until its 400 or so inside the park. It may be that the media is pulling their bullchit as normal, but there are definitely some things that are definitely off with this deal. That poor guy had two surgeries one of which was to rebuild/replace the orbit of the eye. That bear really beat him up.
