The attack happened Thursday as Wallmer was traveling to the Rapids camp yurt. She was running with her dog, about 10 minutes ahead of another volunteer.Officials say she was making noise on the trail to announce her presence, but the blowing wind probably obscured her voice.
The bear charged her, and she dropped her dog's leash and turned her back to the sow. The bear bit her once.
The bear roared and left, presumably to chase the dog. The dog came back about 10 minutes later with the other volunteer on a four-wheeler.
I have a policy of staying out of heavily wooded areas in the spring and in the late fall.
There is less chance of ending up as "bear poo" that way.
