Grizzly bear kills man near Yellowstone....
A month or so ago a few us briefly discussed bear attacks within the thread A Few bits on Scottish Environmental Conservation.
Today I ran across the news story: Grizzly bear kills man near Yellowstone, hours after being tranquilized by researchers.
I thought those who participated in the earlier discussion might find it of interest.

I have mine in MacMillan Hunting tartan. Highly recommended, even in Bear Tartan.

The STM did offer bear sporrans at one time, still may.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

No, for real. I was looking at getting a bear fur sporran, don't think the ones at the STM have silver cantles, to go with a Bear Tartan kilt. I was trying to design a cantle with a Bear paw and pine forest motif, and I had located bear and bear paw buttons for a black evening wear jacket I had been planning to retailor to an argyle cut. And I have a small silver bear paw pin that I was going to attach to a silver disk for a cap badge, or kilt pin.
Then I thought that might be too much motif and started thinking about a full mask skunk sporran.
But now, I think it was all too much thinking and too much trying.

From the headline it sounds like the man who was killed was tranqualized by the researchers. Pretty stupid thing to do in bear country.

Hmmmm.... a Bear kilt with a armadillo sporran..... now we're talking, y'all.
Of course, where to you find an armadillo sporran? That's a custom job for sure.
