Release and Discover?
Grizzly bear just off the Spring Coulee rd, down close to homes, don't get surprised...
Seems the grizzly bears have already "migrated" to WA.
huntnnw:
what I find funny is they wanna re introduce to north cascades, but nothing is stopping grizzlies from migrating from canada into these areas. As mentioned food, the lack of food in those mts, sparse deer pop, no moose and hardly any elk to speak of.

NO!
Washington Ungulates are facing unprecedented challenges with wolves establishing on the landscape and gross mismanagement by the state WDFW agency. WDFW had been failing to properly managing predators and has led to a rapid decline in our Elk herds as well as other ungulate species. We in Washington are inundated with too many Mt. Lions, too many black bear, too many wolves. Introduction of yet another apex predator would contribute to an even greater decline. I know that it is the practice to relocate problem bears, don't lie to us, we don't want problem bears either!
If the Grizz want to be in the Cascade ecosystem they'll get there naturally;
We don't need them imported from other western states happy to be rid of them.

I used this as a template for my comments, hope you don't mind. Added and subtracted a few things.

I've got five different Grizzlies on a single camera in the NE Corner! What in the world makes them think we need more of them! :bash: Wouldn't it be amazing to see them actually care about our rapidly declining moose or mule deer populations like they do about their precious predators?
