Collared grizzly traveled on outskirts of Montana city

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks bear manager Jamie Jonkel said he wasn't surprised to learn a female grizzly bear had traveled on the fringe of Missoula in the fall of 2011, as his department has been predicting the big bruins would be expanding into the area for years. “...we’ve been working hard with the communities like Missoula, Seeley Lake, Clinton and Frenchtown, getting them ready. Those hard efforts those community groups did will start to pay off as we start seeing more and more of these guys.” Missoulian.
