When a horse dies in the Wyoming backcountry, sometimes the best way to keep it from attracting grizzly bears is using explosives to blow the carcass into tiny pieces. In fact, the U.S. Forest Service even has a how-to instruction guide how to best do that, titled “Obliterating Animal Carcasses With Explosives.” But it’s so hot and dry right now, the Forest Service can’t explode the carcasses of two horses that slipped and tumbled to their deaths Friday on a remote trail near Cody out of fear that the blasts would ignite a wildfire. …the reasoning behind exploding carcasses is brutally simple. …If the blasting goes well, the carcass is completely disintegrated, Crosby Davidson, a Forest Service regional blast expert, told Cowboy State Daily. “Later, you might find a bear licking the dirt, but there’s nothing for him to defend, so he behaves differently than if there’s a whole carcass.”
