Here’s something different for tonight.
A guy was checking out the site of a previous bear-eats-man incident for his podcast when a moose came a running up in front him, followed closely by a grizzly bear. You may have seen the video online the past few days. This is an interview with the guy.
COOKE CITY — As a bear biologist, not much surprises Missoula native Wes Larson, but after witnessing a grizzly bear chasing a moose in Cooke City last week, it's a story that'll be hard for him to top.
Larson's seen a lot in his career as a wildlife professional, working in places like Alaska and Utah before returning to the Lolo area.

He captured a grizzly bear in pursuit of a bull moose just a few feet from his car at Soda Butte Campground in Cooke City.
“Had I been out of the vehicle, close to those two, I wouldn’t doubt that the bear could have switched to me as another option,” Larson said.
A fatal bear attack in the same campground from 2010 had brought Larson to the area after a day of guiding.
“We had done a story on 'Tooth and Claw' about a fatality that happened in that campground,” said Larson.
