The Montana rancher who owns the land where 13 grizzly bears were spotted in one location in late October says he’s previously seen as many as 10 bears in a group, but grizzly bears have never caused him or his cattle any trouble.

“They have not been an issue or problem with me,” Dan Freeman said.
