Mr 16..I think you are mostly right..but the state has an easy out for the bear problem..wolves too. The Feds have 'em on the endangered species list.. But even when you are attacked by a bear..and you actually protect yourself and kill it..they treat you like a felon and do a reenanctment to make sure you didn't spread honey er something on you and entice the bear to attack so you could kill it. A fellow got attacked by a grizz and his father actually killed it with an arrow..a one in a million shot.. Most people have decided to go out of their way to avoid a grizz so they quite often leave rather than chance a confrontation.. Heck I had many chances to shoot a bear in Alaska..never chose to.. Even had a big blackie in the building i worked out of....not an easy thing to deal with..they weren't afraid in the summer. LOL Guy was killed by a grizz in the park this year..They thought he just walked up on the bear while hiking..She had a couple of cubs around.. Think they didn't kill her..I forgot to check.. The law here in Wyoming is really wierd ..if you hit and kill a deer you have to leave it...if you take it home it's considered poaching..Big fine for that.. Stupid waste of meat..Game warden told me they didn't want to encourage people hitting deer with their pickups so the could get a deer...Well DUH!! Pheasants too...LOL

TR...the grizz are in the bighorns as are the wolves..There are not many elk in the elk area 58(southfork outside of Cody ) and the Thorofare..is almost devoid of huntable elk...Lots of Grizz in there. Still some moose in 58 and the Thorofare
