Me too. A rancher friend near Harrison with a small plane and landing strip would check his cattle by air back in the 80's and had spotted a grizzly in the Tobacco Roots a number of times back then.surprised that was the first confirmed sighting. i guess i always assumed they were there
Ima gunna guess it’s because they saw a sow with cubs in the roots vs a single individual.Makes perfect sense that with the increase in bear populations individuals are expanding in to areas which link the two populations, mostly to seek out their own turf. But a game camera shot doesn't necessarily confirm grizz are actually setting up shop in either the Tobacco Roots or Elkhorns. I feel sightings are pretty random to assume.
Having climbed all the 10k peaks in the Tobacco range over the course of 20 years, I don't recall ever seeing evidence of grizz " living" there, but I suppose it wouldn't take much for that to change.
there was warning of a sow and cubs at potosi campground, years agoIma gunna guess it’s because they saw a sow with cubs in the roots vs a single individual.
Maybe making a den counts as a resident bear?there was warning of a sow and cubs at potosi campground, years ago
