First off Pa,
I certainly did not mean to imply that you were a peta member or anything of that sort. I was just speaking in general.
Buckshot, if you'll do a little bit of reading concerning grizzlys you shall see they don't exist in the US outside of the national parks (or its believed that they are extremely rare outside of these places), those are the last habitats that still support them.
Second off, this statement is totally incorrect. Grizzlies actually have very sustained and significant populationsthroughout manyparts of the west, like Buckshot said. The Bob Marshall wildernesswould Not be someplace you'd want to be without being "loaded for Bear". Much like some other mountain ranges:the Gravelleys, the Absorkas, the Cabinet mountains, The Bighorns (in N. Wyoming), etc. etc.
