it's convenient for us Canadians that US Grizzly Bears adhere to a geo-political, largely unpoliced, sparsely populated border.

I wonder why only the Selkirk Recovery Zone crosses borders, especially when BC and Alberta are listed among the partner agencies.

I think all of the recent (last 15 or so years) grizzly sightings in the North Cascades are speculated to be visiting bears from Canada.

I think one of those bears just dined on the parent poster. Rest in peace, RandallBrown

This is why the whole discussion around reintroducing them into the North Cascades in Washington has fascinated me (I take no sides, though as a backpacker in that area, I'd kinda prefer not to have to deal with them - black bears trend afraid of us, I've never minded spotting them!). British Columbia has them, and the border doesn't prevent them from making their way down here. I've yet to understand why that is the case - what keeps them from actually coming into the Washington Cascades and making themselves at home?

It is inconvenient for us Grizzly Bears that all these stupid monkeys invented a line and started hassling everybody about it. Unfortunately, you never know which monkey knows the “pop! You die.” trick.

We should be taking a measured approach to shooting them (by that I mean we should be shooting them). So that they know to leave people alone.

Sometimes I really regret whatever turns my life took, that resulted in me not having a business card with "Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee" on it.

It's not too late. I had 100 business cards made that have (among other things) "Lumberjack" listed as one of my professions. I gave one to my girlfriend when we first met, and it got me the date.

Oh, sure, but I could not possibly dream of stealing this particular valor.

Did you sleep all night, and work all day?

I recently rewatched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_Man. It's a Werner Herzog film about Timothy Treadwell's story. It's a classic story of "well, his heart was definitely in the right place" kind of a situation.

Charlie Russell, a Canadian naturalist who worked with Treadwell offered a different perspective on it http://cloudline.org/treadwell.html. He is a bit critical of how Herzog presented Treadwell and the bears in the documentary.
