Grizzly bear in the Bitterroot.

Grizzly in the Bitterroot

This is about 30 miles south of where I live. I think it's neat they are expanding their range and the populations are doing well. Part of the cry to not de-list the grizzly bear is because they are concerned that the bears are not making a connection between the norther ecosystem and the Yellowstone Park area and south western part of Montana. Looks like the bears are figuring it out for themselves as a natural part of expanding their range. A couple years ago a black bear hunter just over the state line into Idaho up Highway 12 west of Lolo accidentally shot a grizzly bear. They figured that one came down from the West side of the Mission Mountains and over the Nine Mile valley just west of Missoula and crossed the Interstate and kept heading southwest until he got into the Bitterroot mountains.

I hope that in the near future they do de-list the grizzly bear and allow very limited hunting. I feel it's time.

Cool. I wish they would've been extirpated by our fore fathers. But ya, maybe one day the federal judges will let states manage them, like everything else. But then Yvon Chouinard would start weeping in his kale again....and bha would be in damage control.

Saw this yesterday posted to facebook. Actually saw the bear in the trap behind the fn g truck heading north from Florence on Saturday. I was surprised that they didn't head up 12 with it, at the time assuming it was a black bear. I wonder where they let it go?

Yeah, I wish they would have exripated elk, sheep, buffalo, and all the other vermin they tried so hard to get rid of. Brilliant response.
