Yup, that's the issue in the lower 48, not allowed to be hunted. And now they're trying to reintroduce them into areas that probably never had them in. But they're the new wolf.Didn't really realize that I never paid much attention to it

Yes, almost seems non-intuitive, but typically it's those mamas with cubs. Honestly, I can't say whether the same stats still hold true today since I read that some years ago and it surprised me when I read it, thus it stuck in my head. I also remember the same article said that Japan had the third highest number of bear attacks in the world, which also caught me by surprise.Unless I jump scare a black bear or run into a mom and cubs I've never been too worried about them. Just always cautious, so I guess I'm a little surprised at that but it makes sense.
what areas are they doing that in?Yup, that's the issue in the lower 48, not allowed to be hunted. And now they're trying to reintroduce them into areas that probably never had them in. But they're the new wolf.
Don't know about Idaho, but northern Washington is getting quite the federal push...what areas are they doing that in?
I should clarify, where are they dropping bears that didn't historically have them before european contact?Don't know about Idaho, but northern Washington is getting quite the federal push...

As Many as 70 Grizzly Bears Will Be Released in Washington State Over the Next Decade
Grizzly bears will be reintroduced in the North Cascades, and the federal government released new details about the reintroduction on April 25.www.outdoorlife.com
it is not so much the animal, but the laws pertaning to the animal. For me, access rules to the forest change because of them. I am not worried about the animal, just don't like being told i can not go somewhere anymore because they are making a comeback. ie snowmobile access in winter in north idaho has changed due to them coming out of there dens in april. Some place i have snowmobiled for decades, i can't legally go there in april anymore, even know, there are more bears now, than 5 years ago.I'm from pa so I don't understand or have much knowledge on the situation, why are grizzlies hated so much? Are they that mean and nasty? I've always thought they're part of the ecosystem as long as they're managed then for the most part they're just bears doing bear things.

supposedly stresses them to much.I didn’t even know that and I live up here, probably because I don’t own a sled.
What do they say exactly harms them if coming out of the dens and someone is riding a sled around? Stress that leads to them dying?
Can I make that claim against the federal government?supposedly stresses them to much.
I didn't even know that was a thing I figured everyone just continued per usual and there were just grizzlies added to the mix.it is not so much the animal, but the laws pertaning to the animal.

Absolutely shocking that this thread, given the area, would devolve into encouraging poaching. *shocking*Wny waste your time? Just shoot them and leave them.
