The Grizzly Bear corridor was identified when the Fish and Wildlife Department began tagging bears with radio tracking devices. Bears traveling the sparsely populated area between Yellowstone and the Canadian border found berries and small game for winter hibernation.

The corridor is located two mountain ranges away from St. Ignatius. Because fires destroy natural habitat, bears are not confined to one small area, they search` eveywhere for food. If they go into hibernaation without enough nourishment, they will die during their winter hiatus.

If you want to kill all bears, I couldn’t care less. Please get rid of wolves while you are at it. Wolves are destroying the elk population as well as farm and ranch animals.

No it's not. Stillwater Forest is nearly the entire west flank of the Flathead Valley, and it is where nearly everyone goes for resources... What you don't know is that everything east of the Flathead Valley with the exception of the Coal Creek area and the Swan Valley is already tied up clean to the Continental divide by Glacier Park, The Bob Marshal Wilderness, and the Great Bear Wilderness. And it is all chock-full of Griz.

So this will eventually gate off everything west of the Flathead, and most of the north fork (coal creek). And everything East (with the exception of the Swan) is already off limits. And there ain't anything south all the way to the Clark Fork.

So where the hell exactly are we supposed to go for forest resources? What is left to log? Where do we go fishing and hunting without hiking in three days?

You REALLY don't know what you are talking about.

Oh, what pitiful bullcrap. And btw, Logging is how you control fires. Logging is therefore GOOD for griz (and it is). How does getting rid of roads and logging protect them then? It is idiocy. and land grab. Again.
