Anyone know how far Grizzlies have expanded south in the winds? I know they have been in the upper green for years,but know of few reports farther south. Lots of sheep and cattle farther south for them to get into trouble with though. Spent a lot of time in the winds,beautiful counrty, and its my understanding that Grizzlies do use tundra quite a bit. My hope is they will expand through out the range and then possibly expand into The Uintas or even Colorado,but I know its likely just wishful thinking. The Uintas have a lot of great country for them,if people would just learn to live with them.
