Yellowstone Grizzlies Coming Off Endangered Specie Protection
Wow.... this way too early to me anyway. Not nearly enough data to support this.
Go spend a spring-summer-fall fly fishing in the general area South East , East and North East of YNP and you'll have a different take I can promise you that. The Grizz are frickin' everywhere. I respect the bears for the magnificant beasts they are and am glad they are recovering, but there is now an over-crowding situation happening in some areas and it needs to be addressed for public safety reasons. Relocating bears from Jackson to the Cody area accomplishes nothing good these days. They are running out of non-private land to relocate these bears when they get into trouble. You are going to start hearing about the high desert plains grizzly population again in the next decade.

Hugging trees aside, the public MUST be protected or be allowed ( as is now allowed) to protect themselves . There is a REALITY to deal with here. Tourists will come and despite their stupidity and or ignorance must be protected.

What does this actually mean? Can't hunt them in the park...

Yes, it means that the states can set a hunting season. This has been discussed which they will issue a set of special permits in certain areas for the harvesting of the bears. It has also been discussed that native Americans will have the first chance at harvesting the animals, similar as to their taking of Bison outside the Parks.
