Great observation. Glad you had some good luck. I have an acquantance that hunts in the Thorofare every year he can get drawn. He took a nice 6 point this year. Pretty much said the same as you with the bears. Everyone that shot and elk close to night fall had a bear on it come morning when they returned to pack it out. They were charged a couple of different times but he's seen enough of them to remain calm and get out of the way. For him the grizzly was a bigger threat/nuisance than wolves. They didn't run across any of them. By the way Jack has taken 8 bulls out of the Thorofare so far and he never gets tired of the scenery. Sometimes the 8 1/2 hr ride in harder than others but horses will be horses.
