Young bear out looking for food; turning over rocks and casting his nose wherever he can in search of calories.
For many years there has been speculation that grizzlies are slowly repopulating the remote portions of central Idaho and southwest Montana. Well, the truth just in: There are indeed grizzlies in the Bitterroot wilderness, and at least one of them is now dead thanks to a hunter from Tennessee who “mistakenly” shot the 400-500 male griz.
The hunter was “baiting” black bear, which is legal in Idaho, and was being guided by a local hunting guide. The hunting guide apparently “was not present” when the grizzly was shot. Probably setting camp for his high-dollar client and making the client’s coffee.
Do you really think a greenhorn from Tennessee is going to know the difference between a black bear and a grizzly?
Obviously, not a chance. When a grizzly dies this way it’s never called murder. And the perpetrator always gets away with it.
Disgusting.
