Let's have wolves, buffalo and grizzly bears!



Yea, yea!



If the idealistic idiots actually had to deal with it(aka live in the area) they might be singing a different tune.




To be clear I'm all for people hunting a few grizzlies.






I'm with Sam. I'd bet if you asked any of the ranchers around here if they thought more grizzlies out on the plains was a good idea, you'd have a hard time finding many that would say yes.

A few years ago a rancher was having a problem with one killing his livestock just west of choteau. A snare was set by fwp and a 400lb griz was caught that nights but during the night another grizzly killed and ate half of the one that was snared...

The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
