Ten days before a bear killed him in the Teton Wilderness last fall, field researcher Adam Stewart told his boss he was worried about working alone in remote places at a time bears wanted to “fatten up.”

Stewart died of an attack — likely by a grizzly — Sept. 4, 2014, in the Cub Creek drainage of the Bridger-Teton National Forest’s Teton Wilderness. Searchers discovered his remains eight days later.
