The last grizz killed in my county was in 1902 by Gordon Jacobs who was paid 500 bucks for his work by local cattlemen. Think about that for a minute, 500 bucks in 1902...that would be a years wages for a cowboy or laborer in those days. People that have to live with grizz don't like him...at all. And like Geno said, now that Calif deer herds are at a historical low, what are the predator species going to eat? Beef? Tourists? Backpackers? (hmm, backpackers)


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
