Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

[Clearwaterarcher]

Interesting. I've jumped a few on the north end of 3 and 4 but never seen a G bear that far south. Be careful out there!

Grizzly bear mistakenly shot and killed by a hunter in Unit 6

On June 10, a hunter shot and killed a subadult male grizzly bear he mistook for a black bear.

Mistake made, but always good to read an article about an honorable hunter.

This will be interesting. Idaho can beat the guy up and scare everyone away who might make the mistake and they'll just walk away.

Tough spot from an enforcement standpoint.

And a dead grizzly. Screw 'em! They don't mix with society.

you’ve jumped grizz in the north end of 3??

I’ve seen sign in 10 and of course a lot in 1. This one probably came from 9/10/Montana.. but you never know.

I too have bumped into a few in 3 and 4.

Good.. don't need them anyways. I hunt unit 6 for whitetail. Buddy lives on the border of 5/6. Don't wanna have to deal with them.

Figured it was only a matter of time. Also only going to see increased instances unfortunately.

How did we make it without them in the forest?? And how do they add to the "balance". I guess,like wolves, they only kill the sick and weak?? Total BS

I kind of see some disparate viewpoints, so not quite gathering your meaning. Which direction, specifically, are you perceiving?

I thought they were on the brink of extinction?? I mean that's what Yvonne Chouinard told me....

Happy to hear of a dead Grizzly. Getting way too many of them around!

Watching closely to see what punishments this guy receives; I'm sure it will be something since it wouldn't be politically correct to let him off with a minor reprimand.

You've obviously never been chased by one of those bast*rds. Some of us have, and while my experience was in remote Alaska, as a resident there I knew the 'encounter' odds going into the sheep mountains, have zero issue with them there.
Here in north Idaho? Complete bullsh*t that hunters, hikers, campers have to sweat dealing with them.

you’re wrong

I actually didn't take a shot on a gorgeous cinnamon bear yesterday and then hunted it for the rest of the evening once I was confident it wasn't a grizzly. For the first time of my life of actually being around bears, I wasn't about to shoot a griz and probably end up in Fed prision over a bear. That would be embarrassing.

I'll also be curious what the out come of this will be. Never thought there would be grizs down that way.

It's like in Michigan, a guy trapped and killed a wolf in southern Michigan. There haven't been wolves there in 150 years. Still waiting to see what comes of the whole thing.

Yep, basically checking all the boxes I would expect
