I've hunted elk in Wyoming twice, both times N.W. of Dubois, up in the Pinnacles country, just S.E. of Yellowstone Park. There were quite a few grizzlys in that area and we saw one. We saw plenty of tracks, however.
One day a Wy. Game Warden and a Wy. Game biologist came into camp. They said they had done a flyover a week before searching for grizzlys and they had counted 23 in the area. Naturally they advised us to be very watchful and keep the camp clean. Also said if we killed an elk to stay away from the gut pile and get our meat back to camp and hanging high in the trees.
We did so and we had no problem with grizzlys... which suited us right down to the ground.
