3mi NNE Canyon, 8400 ft Yellowstone Park, Wyo. Sep 8 1967 went right on lueling -- all at 30yds. In evening was setting traps in this area & came on him again he's as tame as a cow. In mid afternoon a & black bear with large cub came through camp. They checked all parking places for food. I took pictures & finally recreated into camper & shut door when she came to within 2' of the back bumper. I thought she was going to detect the skulls drying in a small pine so I threw a small rock & hit her on the head. She ran off 30-40 yds & slowed to a walk, then I shot her in rears end with sling shot & she really took off. Junior running to keep up. It's real cloudy I hear thunder in distance -- broo at 8:20 P.M. The tourists are really thinning out now. Many places in the park are now closed with others closing this week end.
