While being challenged in the Courts, will the de-listing of Grizzly Bears in the Greater Yellowstone Wyoming region,,,,,,,,,,,,and ultimately Idaho and Montana, doom the bears to liberal trophy hunting provisions?............Watch some excellent videos, evaluate some revealing population maps and graphs and a read a full accounting of the current state of Grizzly management in their current Rocky Mountain territory by clicking on the link below.............Thanks to ecologist/activist George Wuerthner for providing this article.

Biologists and their maps agree: GRIZZLY BEARS are coming to southwestern Montana

 WISDOM, Mont. — Dean Peterson, a rangy fourth-generation rancher with a handlebar mustache, is used to factoring in all sorts of challenges as he works his vast spread in the Big Hole Valley. Summer wildfires that can sweep down the pine-blanketed mountains to the west, harsh winters that can endanger his thousand-plus head of cattle.

Yet in the back of his mind these days is
a threat most of his forefathers 

never faced: grizzly bears. Settlers pushing
 West had all but exterminated

 the hulking predators by the time
Peterson’s great-grandfather arrived 

here in the late 1800s.

A year ago, however, a trail camera
 in the nearby forest snapped a grainy

 photo of a grizzly crossing a stream,
marking the first confirmed sighting

 in the valley in a century. Then in
May, Peterson was stunned to see one 

lope across a snow-dusted road as
 he drove a four-wheeler a few miles

 from his property.
