[QUOTE="Bryerific, post: 2264516, member: 113383"] I spend a lot of time in that area and had a lot more interactions with grizzlies than black bears in those parts. You certainly can find a good black bear but you would want to be really really confident in your ID before pulling the trigger. Also the huckleberry crop up there is awful this year so I don’t know how that will change behaviors. I’d be interested to know how far some of the bears move to find berries? If I was in your shoes I’d consider driving a little further and spending my time north of Big Sky because I see a lot more black bears up there while summer hiking.

That I’m sure that ratio isn’t representative of the populations (and I probably saw some of the same griz more than once) but you get the point… [/QUOTE]
