The last confirmed sighting of a grizzly bear was on Oct. 21, 2010 South of Hwy 20. Their statement is just another denial and play on words. The article here seems pretty definitive to me. It was atleast 20 miles from the border so most likely a resident bear as well.

North Cascades is some rough country, deer are pretty sparse, lots of snow for a big part of the year, it's certainly not prime habitat for brown bears.  I would agree the carrying capacity would likely be pretty low.  Like elk, I believe they were a plains, foothills animal until we showed up.

I'm checking my calendar now to see if 2010 is after 1996.

Sorry Jack, I was basically speaking of what the article stated. I know they travel farther than that.

Even 600 square miles is only a 27 mile circle, it wasn’t an unreasonable assumption

Right but we all remember the wolf from Wyoming that made it to Northern California after spend a bunch of time in Oregon and then going back and forth basically traveling a 1000 freaking miles. They will go where they want and even go where they don't belong...

It’s probably part of the plan to end bear hunting too.
