When mountain men and Indians roamed the west, grizzly bears were on the plains. It is only in our lifetime that they have inhabited the mountains. So if mountain men were in the mountains where the bears weren’t, no conflict. If the Indians were in the plains where the bears were, they could see them for miles, again no conflict...
