Jared Guee's Trip To Sequoia National Park
It was a cold and chilly afternoon on July 17, 2015, when twelve year old Jared Guese encountered a black bear and its two cubs. Leading up to this event, his parents had planned a trip to Sequoia National Park during summer break. Mainly so they could do something besides sit around in their house all day. Jared was not that excited to be going, but he smiled and gave a sarcastic, “Sounds fun!” The car trip there was around four hours long and was very tedious. Once the family arrived at the campsite, they unpacked all of their belongings and set up a large tent.

The next day, they woke up they decided to go to a small nearby hiking trail. While walking at a brisk pace they suddenly a herd of deer were seen grazing peacefully on a field.

    A wak in th woods by Bill Bryson Commencment Speech

    As Bill Bryson leads Stephen Katz through the Appalachian Trail they were met by many obstacles and fears. There is always the fear of bears or wild animals when you’re in the woods and just the fear of the unknown in general. One of the quotes that gives you an idea of what was going through his head is “Black bears rarely attack. But here 's the thing. Sometimes they do. All bears are agile, cunning and immensely strong, and they are always hungry. If they want to kill you and eat you, they can, and pretty much whenever they want.…

    The legend of the famous Devils Tower in Wyoming, according to the Sioux tribes of the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, tells a vivid story of young boys, and how this tower helped them to escape the grasps of a gigantic grizzly bear.

(Rose, “About the Sicangu Oyate”) They say a group of young boys wandered off playing with their toys and end up getting lost in the prairie. They tried to find their way home, and walked for three days with still no luck. On the fourth day, they came face to face with Mato the bear. This bear was the largest grizzly bear around, and he had…

    Mount Rainier Research Paper

    The park has many species of wildlife, but in recent years park researchers have noticed a significant change in behavior of the park animals, as a result of people feeding the animals. That is bad because if wild deers, bears, or even elk come up to people expecting food and they don’t have any then they can get hurt really bad. They could even die because the animals want food.…

    Bear Hunt Research Paper

    The first hour and a half we listened to the birds and watched the squirrels eat away at the trail mix. The sight of this made me hungry so I got out my peanut butter sandwich and red Gatorade. Around 4:45, I was lightly sleeping when I heard a loud snap from a few hundred yards away. My mind began racing as I tried to figure out what could have made that noise. Every couple minutes I could hear another branch break and it was getting closer and closer. An hour later the noise had moved from a few hundred yards in front of us to less than 30 yards behind us. “Don’t move” my dad whispered. We could hear leaves crunching under the feet of whatever was behind us. The noise continued onto the path that leads right to the bait pile. I slowly turned my head to the left and saw a 325-pound bear with a furry, black coat. Instantly my breathing became heavy, my whole body was shaking and my heart was about to pound out of my chest. I grabbed by gun and raised it to my shoulder, almost dropping it from all my shaking. I rested my Remington pump shotgun on the chilly aluminum edge of the Rivers Edge tree stand. “Click” I took the safety off of my shotgun and looked down the iron sights. The bear was licking the frosting on top of the white cedar log. BANG! The bear spun and took off into the thick green underbrush and fell after 20 yards. I couldn’t believe it; I was so excited. My dad and I waited 30 minutes and then we got down from the tree stand and followed the trail to where the bear was laying. I reached down and touched the smooth, plush coat of the bear, thanking it for the meat it would provide for my…

    Grizzly Bear Diets

    For a long time researchers have been trying to retrieve data on Grizzly bear diets. It is clear that all Grizzly bears have different habitats, food sources, and outside pressures such as human development. Although this is true Grizzly bears have been seen to commonly have the same diets over the course of seasonal shifts. For example, Grizzly bear diet and use of seasonally abundant, nutrient-rich food sources has been well documented throughout their range in North America. A wide diversity of foods is consumed, reflecting the species' omnivorous and generalist nature. Food-habit relations are therefore often locally variable, making extrapolations from other populations difficult. Even within a population, annual and seasonal variations in food productivity can alter…

    Yosemite National Park Experience Essay

    The sciences have managed to encapsulate my intrigue throughout my life, an intrigue that has pushed me to seize many opportunities that enrich my knowledge towards the sciences. UW-Eau Claire offered a Domestic Intercultural Experience to Yosemite National Park in May of 2016 that I had the blessing of attending. A squadron of Eau Claire college students accompanied by two professors of the University flew to California for nine days to explore the natural geologic beauty of Yosemite National Park. We packed our experience with multiple hikes around the park as well as a few presentations and talks that discussed the history of the park and how it was formed. Being surrounded by massive walls of plutonic rock made me realize the awesome power of nature that comes in the form of glaciers. Mono Lake was also a part of the agenda on the immersion experience. At the lake, we learned that its salinity is caused by the lack of an outflow for the lake and we discovered the volcanic history of the Mono basin.…

    Wolf Reintroduction

    To begin with in 1975 the “Federal government establishes [the] Rocky Mountain wolf recovery team.”(5) This team set out to make an organized plan on how to restore the wolf population, but there first detailed plan, made in 1980, failed. The plan, “fell woefully short of expectation by failing to address the issues of reintroduction, population goals, or the handling of problem wolves who attack livestock.(6) (7) Seven years later, the team organized a new plan, which was approved. For Yellowstone to use this plan, “two things had to occur: 1) an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) with full public involvement had to be written; and 2) final rule making designating the reintroduced Yellowstone wolves as an experimental population had to be enacted.” (8) This process took another ten years, but it was completed, in detail, and helped to continue the reintroduction…

    Personal Narrative: Memoir

    We set up and went to bed early. I could hardly sleep. The whole night is kind of a blur, but the next morning around 5:00, my dad woke me up and we all set out into the darkness. Hiking up to the area where we thought the elk would be, we saw a huge, 8 point bull elk, but it was before shooting light and we had to let him run off. After this, my dad and I found a small meadow in and sat down to wait for shooting light. As the meadow filled with light, we heard tons of shots all around, but mostly down the hill below us, we saw nothing, so after an hour or so, we moved on. After a while trekking through some thick brush, we found a clearing. The cycle of hiking, waiting, and seeing nothing repeated itself a few times. Then, in the closing minutes of daylight, we came across Kotchwar, who had downed a cow elk an hour before. We all headed back to the spike camp. Kotchwar headed back to the main camp, and my dad and me felt some disappointment watching him leave, but this had happened before and my dad had gotten an elk, so we had hope. We made these horrible MRE like things for dinner and went to bed, feeling optimistic for the coming…
