Cabinet Mountain grizzly
Thought you guys would like to see visitor at my outfit this spring and summer.The photos were taken at neighbors ranch below me after he visited my outfit.
The first photo were the first week of april and the 3 was 1 month later, his front paw measured 71/4" to 71/2" in the snow when I back tracked him, he was 60 yds from the house in the first photo an 10 yds in the third. I ride the area all the time and see his tracks in the creek bottom next to my outfit. danny

I would be a little apprehensive about riding around with that brute out there. He appears to be pretty good sized. If he got acclimated to humans and spooked your horse out from under you, you might find yourself face to face with him. It's different knowing you might run into one then knowing one is out there right around your place.

I'm with Law Dawg, The fact that he comes around your corral tells me that he's already acclimated to humans. In other words, it's rug time.kimwcook wrote:I would be a little apprehensive about riding around with that brute out there. He appears to be pretty good sized.

BigSky56, about where in Montana are you? I'm not familiar with Cabinet Mountains.
(Edit) I googled the Cabinet Mountains and found the Cabinet Wilderness around Libby. Pretty rugged area. Not far from home. I'd love to hunt elk in that area on horseback. Getting a lot of Griz in there?

That bear was in the 600 lb range coming out of the den in april add 25 to 30% larger when he went in for the winter. Ive had alot of dealings with bears and unless they are forted up on a kill or have cubs you can avoid most problems. There are always the exceptions. Being a horseback the horse will spot them before I do, besides I have a cow eating blue heeler that I would sic on him before I would gunfight him, that dog works good on bears and moose that want to stand and fight. We are getting alot of grizz in the Cabinets and Yaak area too many. And the elk hunting in the Cabinets is fair too, dark timber bull.

When I first saw the pictures of the bear I thought that BigSky56 might be in danger from the Griz, But after seeing a Picture of BigShy56 I am thinking that the bear might be in danger of having his bottom tanned with a peach switch if acts up around Danny's place.
Really Baby, I swear that it just followed me home.
