A grizzly bear on a bison carcass near Blacktail Pond in Yellowstone. While hunting is not allowed in Yellowstone, an elk hunt is staged in Grand Teton National Park and over the years encounters over carcasses between hunters and grizzlies have resulted in human injuries and dead bears, just as they have in national forests. Grand Teton requires hunters to carry bear spray. Photo courtesy Jim Peaco/NPS
