Hounds should not be used to hunt bears. A number of mountain lion hunters gave up chasing because wolves killing there hounds. So why chase bears? They should be moved to any remote area in the United States that Grizzlies once in habitated. Example California has a Grizzly on its flag but no Grizzlies. Habitat for Grizzkies has been harmed by wolves.
Spring source of food for Grizzlies was winter kill. Now the wolves dine on winter kill. Also wolves dine on elk especially calves. Bears also depend on elk for food source. Have wolf hunting season but not trapping or snaring. I suppose none of these people eat beef. Ranchers are only feeding America. I guarantee not one of them has seen a calf being eaten while being born.
Love watching bears. I also understand some animals can be a nuisance. I am not for killing any type of wild animals unless they become a danger. I also wish people would stand up for these babies that are being slaughtered daily. They are human beings that are not doing harm to anything.

And Kuka, like many on the front, unwillingly shares his ranch with grizzly bears. He worries for the safety of himself, his family and his livelihood. Ranchers can be compensated for killed livestock, but only if they can prove a grizzly was the culprit. Of last year's killed calves, Kuka said he found only one carcass. There were thought to be between and grizzlies in the lower 48 states when the bear was listed as endangered in Now, there are almost twice that, with more than 1, of those grizzlies living in Northwest Montana alone.
Kuka is among a growing group of ranchers who argue something needs to be done to keep the population in check. The Montana Legislature has passed a bill that would loosen regulations around killing grizzlies in Montana, and it's headed to the governor's desk.
