I haven't seen or heard of one in the Rebuplic area. Neither have two of the local ranchers. Coyote's are the problem there.

I saw a Grizzly in the Lk. Wenatchee area about ten years ago. I called it into the local ranger station and they got back to me about a week later. It was a confirmed Sow that had some road kill a dozen yards or so off the road. I was backpacking at the time so I asked her what I should consider Grizzly country and was told, "north of I-90."

A few years back driving thru Yellowstone we stopped to watch some Coyote's eating an Elk. Dumb ass folks standing there with HUGE camera's oh'ing and ah'ing over the beutiful wolves. I couldn't take it and had to chew them all out, "there are Coyote's in every state people you know what they look like pull your fricking heads out and get a clue!!!" Idiots!!!
