Heard about another one the other day with a bird hunter on private near Fairfield. Apparently was charged but a couple loads of birdshot to the face made it run off and fpw is looking for it.

Had a grizz in camp last week, scared him off but didn't sleep great that night!

An area we hunt is SW Montana that just a few years ago was "grizz free" now has bear aware signs and confirmed grizz from ranchers. We saw one 8-10 years ago. Pretty much all of Montana west of billings could be grizzly country. I hope they can be hunted sooner than later but very doubtful.

I figure in a few years they’ll creep a bit further south in SE Idaho and I’ll have to deal with em. Sucks

You'll be able to hunt them if they ever make it to D.C. Less than that and they probably just continue to eat people with impunity.
