Grizzlies in the bighorns

NR draw odds should get better once the "scared" sets in.

Only a few times. Not more than 10. Most recently to buy ice for a bull I killed near there.

If you didn't grab a couple scoops of huckleberry ice cream from Dirty Sally's you really haven't been to Ten Sleep.

Didn't do that. It was ice and boogie home. Really all I've done is drive through, buy ice and gas, and steal WiFi. And avoid the all the g bears.

I wouldn't really consider Ten Sleep "the Big Horns." It's more prairie to me. It's at an even lower elevation than Denver.

I apologize. I'll refrain from sharing any news articles until they are approved.

Are questions and criticisms of posted content not welcome? Are we too fragile to have a discussion on a forum?

Add it to your list for next time...After a week of hunting, eating protien bars, and freeze dried its hits the spot.

No. But I certainly don't want to spread "fake news" or offend anyone. Not my intention.

From the article “The Bighorn Mountain Range is not suitable habitat and the department is not interested in allowing grizzly bears to occupy this area,”....what does that mean? The Cloud Peak wilderness area is nearly 200,000 of prime griz habitat (so they're lying?)...and will the department violate the ESA and kill them against federal law?

Oh, I didn't think you were. I thought the article's author is perhaps guilty of a little sensationalism, but in journalism these days that's what sells I suppose. No harm no foul, and I didn't mean any offense, apologies if it came off that way.

It means the area is unsuitable due to the amount of human/bear conflict that would take place.

I read it as the bighorn are unsuitable because.... "suitable habitat exists as designated by the USFWS and informed by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team. "

It would seem the feds think the bighorns are unsuitable habitat

From what I have seen of the Big Horns and being a novice as to Grizzly Bear habitat sure looked to me like it would be a suitable area for them. Perhaps the fish and game folks don’t want them bears a competing with the big foots population.

If they are around tensleep then definitely in the bighorns! That’s some rugged/remote country.
