Another outfitter who operates just outside YNP came bear hunting with us here in Washington last fall. I was amazed to learn they almost never see black bear anymore but they see grizzlies all the time. In fact he said if you left an elk overnight after a successful hunt to pack out the next day, there's a high probability it would be taken over by a grizzly when you come back to get it the next morning. I can remember going to Yellowstone when I was young and we would see dozens of black bear. But this outfitter came hunting all the way to Washington hoping to get a black bear. This interesting video reinforces why the black bear seem to be disappearing in the YNP area.
