Phil Cooper of Idaho Fish and Game talks about the taxidermy grizzly on display at the agency’s Coeur d’Alene office this week. The bear was killed illegally in 1997 north of Creston, B.C. Cooper said the bear was typical of grizzlies in the region, weighing about 400 pounds, less than the bigger coastal grizzlies. Becky Kramer SR story here. (SR photo: Kathy Plonka)
