Grizzly Search Planned

Federal and state officials plan a grizzly hunt for bears in north-central Idaho and western Montana, following the shooting of a grizzly along the border by a mistaken black bear hunter. That was the first confirmed sighting in the area since 1946. Hair traps and motion-sensitive cameras would be used. The $60,000 hunt is as yet unfunded. (News source.)

"But even if bears are in the area, Nadeau said, confirming their existence will be difficult.
"'These animals are very good at hiding and living their lives unbeknownst to humans,' he said."
