Wyoming has been highly publicized over the past couple of months regarding the delisting of the grizzly bear for the 1st time in over 40 years. Some are asking, Aren't they still a threatened species? Why now? And Is this a good thing? Well, we have Bear Wise Coordinator of Wyoming Game & Fish, Dusty Lasseter, here to answer it all including why this decision is so important for the state of Wyoming and the future of the grizzly bear. We cover some misconceptions out there about catching & relocating bears, what the delisting means for hunting in the state of Wyoming and what is best to protect yourself in the wilderness; bear spray, a taser or a gun? Dusty also shares some of the close encounters he has had with these bears over the years and explains why it is so important to be "Bear Aware".
