Growing populations of grizzly bears and humans add up to greater conflict
Decades of protection have led to a grizzly bear population in Montana that's more than triple what it was a century ago. But that means more interactions - and conflicts - with humans. 60 Minutes reports, Sunday. going to watch it online.

My daughter and SIL live off of I15 in Montana in the wheatfields. They have an app on their phone and the town alerts them when a grizz is passing through town. They have had to shelter in place until the grizzlies leave town. And it happens more than a person thinks considering they are not real close to any mountains ranges.

I have been spending time in the wilds of Wyoming and Montana for 50 years and a Grizzly sighting used to be somewhat rare. For the last 10 years seeing them has become common. We spent a month in Jackson, Wy. last fall and saw Griz and wolf tracks almost daily. We spent a lot of time hiking North of Grand Teton NP and south of Yellowstone and became very "bear aware" in a short time.

I like grizzlies and think they have a place in the Wilderness I visit.

I spent a lot of years around grizzlies and what 60 minutes knows about them you could fit in a thimble. IOW don't put a lot of stock in what they have to say, being factual.

Any reason why you bounce between name Mike? You are from Danville California, right?

Darn that has to be edgy. Beats a cul-de-sac in Bozeman lol. Id rather live in the woods than post about 2 weeks a year hunting in them. Crossing the creek behind my house to hunt deer with your kid takes on a whole different dimension when your dragging it through the willows and there's a big fugging grizz on camera from a day or 2 ago. I know there's Alaskans' that'll post pics of a 15' coastal brownie eating dog food off their porch. I chose to live here, just wish we weren't beholden to commie fuggs when it comes to being able to shoot a problem bear.

I'm with Brad on this one. When I'm hiking or camping, the fact that grizzlies are around is part of the deal. The same goes for other predators. Without them, the experience is diminished. In fact, if the presence of bears serves to keep even a few people away, I'm all for them. GD
