I missed this post but saw the story this morning.

This is a strange one. The article I read said the four young men split up after realizing the bear was following them. That was exactly the wrong thing to do and I don't understand that at all.

Even the bear following them is pretty odd. Bears have been known to stalk lone hikers, but rarely a group of them.

Certainly sad to hear about it.
