It's actually north west of Okanagan the town, which is closer than Conconuly.

Just my :twocents: , but there's still green grass to be found in the mountains right now. Especially on north slopes, along creek drainages and at elevation. We just rode atvs in the 100 degree heat around Wallace, ID last weekend and found lots of green pockets with green grass, ferns, cedars, etc. No matter when this photo was taken, its the animal content of the photo that makes it cool, not the time of year it was taken. Thanks for sharing!! :tup:
I agree. I spent some time in the mountains last weekend. Lots of green still present.
This was 3 weeks ago on the border of the Yakama reservation at 6000-ish feet in a wide open to the sky area....

The part that's interesting to me is that if there's a mama with a cub, that means there's a papa around somewhere too! Its amazing to me how those animals find each other out there, when we have thousands of sets of eyes in the wilderness every year and can't seem to find them.
Their sense of smell is far greater then one can imagine, when animal is in heat the males will find them. :chuckle:

I laughed when I saw a bottle of moose in heat for sale at the store. Anyone who has spent time with moose know why I was laughing. I wonder if there is a market for Grizz in heat?
If you find some put it on your boots, not mine :o

That part of Okanogan hasn't had rain in over 65 days so I have a hard time believing the timing of this photo as well as the location.
I was just in this area Tuesday and there are still green patches to be found... salmon crk area
Again, it's a cool photo! No need to trash this thread

It's barely rained twice here in ~3 months. Still green.

If it wasn't for the fact that I am swamped at work right now and helping with the veteran hunt I would put $1000 down on the table and take you to the exact location. But if you don't believe me go out to those gps co ordinates and do a 360 degree video and post up here.
Some people just like to argue for the sake of it, if he doesn't want to believe it that's his problem.
It's still an awesome photos of a Wa grizz and her cub. :tup:
If I would have taken that photo it would be enlarged and on my wall. :kneel:

Don't drink the koolaide people. Because they say they aren't here. Roflmao! Or that they want to introduce them. They are here where it will support them. Now with the big fires, it may support more of them. We shall see.

I'm into grizzly almost every fall Double. Ive had encounters since back in the 80s. I've almost had my you know what handed to me. I think it's awesome you posted that pic. I haven't seen any right there in that hood. I've seen them working near starvation, so it's not a wild step. You have nothing to prove. I've had arguements like this since middle school. Someone thought I hadn't seen a blacktail in the valley. Then it was a moose, then it was a wolf, then a Lynx. Even had a bighorn walk across my Dads horse pasture. This year it was a Fisher. Point is, wild animals get around. Spend some time in big country and you will see all sorts of stuff. Then everyone wants you to get on the horn to the WDFW. Why? Most of the time they won't believe you and I can't say I blame them. They have yahooooo after yahooooo that don't know ....... from ........... reporting. If they do research it, the next thing you know you have the area shutdown. I'll never forget sitting in my dads living room watching a pack of wolves on the hill. The biologist called. (Coincidence) He had never even seen one before. Lol. Imagine his surprise, "watching 5 or six of them on the hill right now". How can you study an animal you have never seen..... The next day there were about seven guys cross country skiing on the hill. I'm sure it's easy to sneak up on a wolf with seven guys. They chaulked it up to a coyote. Those pics ended up in a magazine article. Rant almost over. Cool photo.

Thanks for the reality check Bone

Currently the grass and weeds everywhere I went before and after the coordinates is leaps and bounds taller than in this picture. I was surprised on how much was still green, but nowhere in the area was the grass this short. No buttercups ( or whatever the yellow flowers are) were visible any where.

Cool to watch. Cool to hunt. Shot an arctic grizzly earlier this year, in Alaska.
The grizz has always been around, I suspect. Not in big numbers here, not for a long time, but they've been around.

I've put the Biologist in touch with the original photographer. I put an estimate area guessed on what was relayed to me. They are meeting him to point it out.
And????? I know what they told me after looking at the coards. But i cant post it here cuz it will get deleated.
