WORLAND – A female black bear was euthanized by Ten Sleep District Game Warden Tom Desomber on Saturday, Aug. 29, after becoming habitated in a quest for hibernation protein. “Basically,” said Desomber, “a fed bear is a dead bear. It’s sad, but it became accustomed to finding human food in the area and had to be put down.” The bear, estimated to be 3 years old, had become a problem over the last month, returning to cabins and campsites along West Ten Sleep Creek Road, in a search for food left by campers and seasonal cabin owners. “She was re...

On a recent Sunday, my wife, Celia, and I decided to undertake an excursion. The trip would have to be short because we had a 5 p. m. dinner scheduled with some friends. I reviewed my mental list of “one of these days” spots – places I’d said to myself I should go, but never got around to it – and came up with the BLM’s dinosaur track display near Shell. So, we headed out of Worland about 10 a. m. It only took about an hour to come to a sign declaring “DINOSAUR TRACKS,” found about 10 miles east of Greybull on the south side of U. S. Highway 1...
