Shayne Patrick Burke lived to recount his harrowing encounter with a grizzly bear in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
Shayne Patrick Burke was looking for owls in the wilds of Wyoming, but he found grizzlies instead. Just moments after Burke noticed a bear cub within 50 to 70 yards, he saw a mother grizzly bear charging toward him. “I stood my ground, shouted and attempted to deploy the bear spray but as I did she already closed the gap,” he wrote in a Facebook post about the May 19 incident in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.
” When she called back, he told her about the encounter as he administered first aid on himself. Photos included with Burke’s post on social media show deep gashes in his hand and back. He noted in his account that he had received advanced first aid training in the army, and his wife talked him through treating his wounds with what he had with him. “I cut my back pack straps, camera straps and used my Fanny pack straps” to make improvised tourniquets to control the bleeding.
