I'm facing this same issue moving from MN to ID. I will be hunting N Idaho and NW Montana so will be around bears and wolves. We have plenty of black bears and wolves here in MN but the grizz do freak me out a bit. I'm not sure how fearful to be and don't want to not enjoy going up into the mountain after elk and deer but I also want to be safe. I'm anticipating doing much of my hunting alone. I plan to carry a sidearm when out with the bow and probably a shotgun when fishing. I like reading that risky encounters are uncommon.
