STATEMENT
These great bears are my passion. The grizzlies are coming back after years of depredation but as we speak, they are trying to take away their protected status. I moved to the Beartooths from Colorado. I had found a beartooth on my property-brought up by a gopher outside my Colorado cabin. I took it as a good omen!
