The bears have most of North America to wander around up in Canada.

As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, I don’t know how I feel about this

Not redditors who never actually go outside. The same ones who think this actually makes sense.

All the low income people I know lean left. Myself included.

>some are in the north cascades already

Last one was seen in 1996. There's been a lot of monitoring since then in NCNP, with no confirmed sightings, hair, tracks, or scat, so I don't think so.

I was and am a big proponent of the wolf reintroduction but I’m not so sure about running around with Griz.

Moose are far more dangerous than grizzlies. Anyone who's spent time living in Alaska knows this very well.

More than we do.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Selfishly, I do feel more comfortable in the backcountry when I know grizzlies aren't in the area, but it's also kinda a shame that grizzlies only exist in small pockets in the continental US across WY, ID, MT and a shred of WA. Healthy prevalence of species does trump my comfort level of course though.

As far as scary mammals in North America the top two of my ranked list:

1. Grizzly bears

2. Moose

Black bears and then cougars are probably next but both of those are so far down in scariness compared to the top two they barely even register.

That's what happens when you don't sign up for the John Deer repair plan!

The bell thing isn't true.

Black bears will mostly leave you alone. And grizzly bears as a whole will as well. But grizzly bears are definitely more territorial than black bears.

Grizzlies are far more dangerous than mountain lions. Mountain lions spread across the entire US and average far fewer attacks on humans annually than grizzly bears despite grizzly bears occupying only a super small area of land across a few states.

The presence of bears will not deter carelessness. It will likely result in human-bear conflict, which almost never ends well for bears.

Is it really just slightly different? Grizzly bears are a lot bigger.

I’ve heard wild animals sometimes attack non-morons as well.

Yep, I used to run custom Wheat/Bean/Corn combines. we had a parking brake seize up and catch the stubble on fire on a 300 acre field once, scary stuff, luckily the farmer was there disc'n and sustained it. This is a seed header, but I don't know what seed it was (mustard likely).

Lol all you have to do is type in blueberry pancakes into Google maps with the map looking at the area
