The Historic Grizzly

The old grizzly was everything Wright had ever wanted, but he soon found that the Lochsa River was not only full of salmon, it was also full of bears. William Wright, true to his word, loved bears. He loved then to death. Like a man possessed, he embarked on an orgy of unrestrained killing.
A short time after his first Idaho bear kill, Wright discovered winding along the river a major bear trail that held a 14-inch-long track. He became obsessed with finding the big bear responsible for that track. Wright continued killing grizzlies with regularity. In Wright's memoir it becomes apparent that the senseless murder of these baby bears began to eat at him. The massive, gluttonous blood drenching that he had at one time gleefully recounted eventually began to wear on his mind. The memories of baby bears bawling for their dead mothers inspired a fairly momentous decision. William Wright, who claims to have killed more than fifty grizzlies, put down his gun and began to approach the grizzly bear in a far different - and more humane way. Reply
