Didn't do that. It was ice and boogie home. Really all I've done is drive through, buy ice and gas, and steal WiFi. And avoid the all the g bears.
Add it to your list for next time...After a week of hunting, eating protien bars, and freeze dried its hits the spot.

Are questions and criticisms of posted content not welcome? Are we too fragile to have a discussion on a forum?
No. But I certainly don't want to spread "fake news" or offend anyone. Not my intention.

From the article “The Bighorn Mountain Range is not suitable habitat and the department is not interested in allowing grizzly bears to occupy this area,”....what does that mean? The Cloud Peak wilderness area is nearly 200,000 of prime griz habitat (so they're lying?)...and will the department violate the ESA and kill them against federal law?

Oh, I didn't think you were. I thought the article's author is perhaps guilty of a little sensationalism, but in journalism these days that's what sells I suppose. No harm no foul, and I didn't mean any offense, apologies if it came off that way.

It means the area is unsuitable due to the amount of human/bear conflict that would take place.

I read it as the bighorn are unsuitable because.... "suitable habitat exists as designated by the USFWS and informed by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team. "

It would seem the feds think the bighorns are unsuitable habitat

From what I have seen of the Big Horns and being a novice as to Grizzly Bear habitat sure looked to me like it would be a suitable area for them. Perhaps the fish and game folks don’t want them bears a competing with the big foots population.

I honestly don't know if she is incompetent or acting.

Either way it's pathetic.

It is really sad how our so-called leaders can openly obfuscate an issue, if the science, that they claim to believe and need to have to make a decision, doesn't go their way.

If they are around tensleep then definitely in the bighorns! That’s some rugged/remote country.
THIS! we hunted the bighorns in 2018, and I wouldn't doubt one bit that there are a few in there making home to it. We werent allowed to go into the wilderness area (non residents), but there is plenty of country for them to make a "home"

Now now. I was told by Randy Newberg and the experts on hunttalk that this administration was good for public land hunters. Exactly the type of leadership hunters needed. Adults back in charge.
