Bearanoia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep:

Two years ago my buddy Bill and I camped out for three days at the
extreme south east arm of the lake, where the Yellowstone River dumps
into the lake....ten miles paddling beyond where motors are allowed.

On the final morning, when we got up early to pack up and leave,
we found the following tracks on the beach. They made two complete
360 degree trips around the canoe, and then headed across the forest
floor, straight for the tent. That was a big bear, with paw prints
about a foot wide.

So I think we must have been sniffed and spared--for some reason--in the
middle of the night.

While we were in there we carried a satellite transmitter (a ranger
asked us) which tracked our daily GIS positioning. They later mapped
that on top of similar tracking graphs, coming from transmitter collars
on several bears. The ranger refused to show us the data.
But that "wilderness" campsite was closed for most of the summer, after
that trip.
