I used to hunt with a guy who's family had a Big ranch in Wyoming that bordered Yellow Stone. He was Mule deer hunting with a rifle one year when he accidentally got between a sow and her cubs. She came for him and he dodged behind a tree and kept the tree between them while he unloaded the gun into her. His father had pictures of the scene.
I don't have a problem with it.
I got invited out there one year and had to turn them down. I don't know what I was thinking.
