Keough: Grizzlies Getting Awful Close

Item: Montana moves grizzly from Whitefish Mountain Range to Cabinets near Troy/Jim Mann, Daily Inter Lake

Idaho Sen. Shawn Keough (via Facebook): This is pretty close to us considering the range of grizzly bears. I guess we should be happy this particular bear doesn't have any bad history of interaction with humans - yet. Spar Lake is featured on several different recreational web sites as a great place to go. Hope they add a note about grizzly bears in the area. And I hope it stays near Spar Lake.

Question: Do you want western Bonner County to become grizzly habitat by default, through the actions of the Montana Fish, Wildlife, & Parks?
