In early July, a black bear attacked a campsite in Wyoming's Bighorn National Forest, ignoring attempts by two campers and their four dogs to scare it away. The bear tore into a tent with no food or scented items, and the women had to hide in their cars and drive off.

The incident occurred on July 5 near Fool Creek; the bear returned in the morning and destroyed the campsite.
