[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 2974623, member: 113694"] Bears travel riparian areas and use them to vast areas unto the prairie spring thru fall, in the past they migrate back to the mountains to den but in the last 5 years we have some bears denning in the breaks of the Maria’s, just west of I15 and not just sows, some mature boars do also. Just like the pre 1800’s. Another interesting thing to note is the size of these prairie/ east front boars. In the last 20 years 2 spring boars have been trapped and weighed, one was 900# and another topped 1000#, they were grandpa and grandson in that order, right west of Conrad. My understanding is the largest boars west of the divide max is 800#, the east side prairie bears grow larger. In the town of Conrad a couple years back they darted a 3 year old boar that weighed a touch over 400#, yes in the edge of town and it is common in Choteau also. [/QUOTE]
