[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 1907414, member: 113694"] Just so you folks that do not live out west know what it is like here.. In Conrad we are 25 miles from the east front, northwest of us is swift dam, an irrigation reservoir on the birch creek drainages, right on the edge of the mountains....anyway a rancher lives about 4 miles off the front along birch creek and last week he had a sow and boar grizzly on his place...sow was in heat and they stayed there for two days, he actually saw them mate a couple times...keep in mind this is all grass or hay fields with a bunch of 12' tall willows along the creek, so these bears would be extremely visible any time they are not in the willows.........I have lived here 20 years, 10 to 15 years ago whenever someone saw a grizzly out on the prairie, lots of people would drive out to see them.... now, if someone says there is a grizz 2 miles west of town, most people say "big deal"....Conrad is on the prairie, fairly flat, but with draws and coulees and some brush or willows here and there. When I moved to Mondamtana in 1983 I thought I died and went to heaven, a hunters paradise......still is and they will bury me here. More big game and small game to hunt than you can imagine. The rancher said the sow looked to be in rough shape (she could be old) and the boar dwarfed her, said he was twice the size of her. Keep in mind most sows are 250-350 # the largest I have heard of was 401 # but we have had two boars in the last 25 years, caught in the spring one was 900 # and the other was a 1000 # and get this.........one was grandpa and the heavier one was caught 10 years later or so, he was the grandson of the 900 #er.....they DNA them....isn't that interesting?
