[QUOTE="Deleted member 115374, post: 2029242"] Yes, I have. It has been awhile. I remember reading about their encounters with the White Bears at the falls of the Missouri. These were very light blonde colored grizzlies. I grew up a little north of there. They spoke of the falls that were so loud you could hear them from miles away. I believe they arrived in the spring and what they found at the base of the falls were dozens of buffalo carcasses that had fell through the ice over the course of the winter and washed downstream, over the falls and collected in the pool below. There were grizzlies in great numbers feeding on the dead buffalo. I believe this is where they encountered the largest bears. I don't recall the guys name but he shot one with a muzzleloader, wounded it and if I remember correctly the bear made a mess of him and died later of his wounds. The falls are gone now, damned up at the black eagle dam. This is now Great Falls, Montana. At that time they encountered tens of thousands of buffalo, vast elk herds, antelope, mule deer and herds of big horn sheep on the plains as well as wolves and bears. I grew up in that country about 20 miles east of camp disappointment. Montana History was my favorite class in high school. This is the same country where Charlie Russell painted his famous wildlife paintings. [/QUOTE]
