I'm not saying the odd grizzly might not make it across all that dry land to Cali, but it's certainly going to be the odd occurrence should one happen to show up here. I think there's DNA evidence of the occasional wolverine in the Sierra, so why not a grizz every now and again??

I'm looking forward to the night I shoot a freaking Wolf either here or over in Nevada thinking it was a coyote. Shovel ready...


Coyotes shot no waiting.
