I attended this presentation last week. Good stories and fascinating photos . . .
Jonathan Klein spent more than 30 years working in wilderness and wilderness management during his career with the Forest Service.
In all those years, there were plenty of black bear encounters — every time he just gave a shout and the bear took off running.
That’s the conventional wisdom in Montana — black bears run if you yell and holler enough.
But on this day, Klein was standing on the edge of the Churchill River yelling his lungs out at a black bear that had all the intentions of not going anywhere until it had thoroughly and completely consumed Klein.
