Hunters along the Rocky Mountain Front, especially bird hunters in riparian areas, need to be aware they are in bear country. In recent years, grizzlies have wandered out onto the prairie away from the Front, following streams and river bottoms. Last year, a grizzly was killed in October by a bird hunter, after the hunter surprised the bear in thick cover about 8 miles north of Choteau and east of U.S. Highway 89. Bears rely on the dense cover of the riparian areas to find food and avoid humans.
