Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks staff confirmed the sighting of a grizzly bear in north-central Montana last month. Near Big Sandy, the sighting is the farthest east a grizzly has been sighted in the modern day. Its travel rate of more than 10 miles per day, suggests it is a young, wandering male. It has thus far gotten into some dog food and garbage, and killed two chickens.

“We try our best to communicate the locations of grizzly bears in areas where people don’t expect them to be or where they are new,” grizzly bear conflict specialist Wesley Sarmento said.

“However, we never know where they will show up next,” Sarmento said, noting the bear could be anywhere within a 100-square-mile area on any given day.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness. You’ll likely hike for hours, oftentimes at high elevation, and many of trails you’ll follow are filled with deadfall and uneven rocks. If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.
