Elk calves?
Salmon. White bark pine trees are also on the decline.

Elk calves?

For those that don't know what whitebark pines have to do with grizzly bears, here is good link.
The little tree in Shoot's Straights 4th picture is a young whitebark pine. The mature trees are dieing out all over the high country of the West. To transplant grizzlies in the Selway Bitterroot knowing full well that the chance of them surviving is very questionable, makes no sense to me.
Just when our Elk have started recovering from Wolves, it's time to throw Grizzlies at at them, no thanks.
Another concern for me is that this is just one more avenue to make a criminal out of an outdoorsman. If I come across a Grizzly in the wild, I will shoot it no matter how it's acting or what direction it's headed. I have a wife and kids to come home to and so I will always play it safe in these cases, with wolves and lions too. Shooting an animal that's on the ESA, even in self defense, still seems like a potential investigation, lawsuit, and possibly criminal charges to me.

If a Grizzly transplant goes through, I will bet, the majority of these bears will end up starving to death.
Let the grizzlies move into the SB on their own.

Probably not. Most residents of those states aren't terrified of bears like the people in Idaho apparently are.

I can't believe you would put a statement right out on an open Forum on the net that you would intentionally violate a law that's on the books--- Geez!!!
Me either!
Me either! I was preoccupied and shouldn't have responded at all or got caught up in the stabs. For some odd reason there was/is no editing function active with my account.
I'm not sure what the time limit is on editing on this site, but it does go away for everyone and that's probably why you made your last sentence!
