The Grizzly of Falls Creek
Ahead of them was the grizzly, sprinting away. Its glossy, chocolate brown coat rippled over a muscular, dark hump and powerful hindquarters. Now and again, the bear looked over its shoulder.
“He ran like he expected us to start shooting at him at any moment. You could almost read the expression on his face,” Madel says. “It was like ‘Uh oh, they almost caught me.’”
That was one of the few glimpses Mike Madel ever caught of the Falls Creek male in the wild. Little did he know how intertwined his life would become with that of the grizzly—a bear destined to become a Montana legend.

Marvin Metzger enjoyed a front-row seat to the action Friday morning as firefighting airplanes and a helicopter doused a fire that had swept to within 30 yards of his Stillwater County home.
Metzger, joined by a half-dozen friends and family members, watched the scene unfold from the shade of his covered deck.
A rust-colored smudge that spread across Metzger’s yard was left over from a half-dozen retardant drops that helped quench flames racing to the top of a steep, timbered slope along Benedict Gulch Road.
