Deffinatly a possibility but in the mountain zones that have been the hardest hit this would push to say that Grizzly numbers are then extremely high not at levels anywhere near as low as suggested. Blackbears have a huge factor on moose and elk calves in many areas for sure. But in areas such as our main mountain zones and parks blk bear numbers I dont believe are near as significant as many of the study areas or in places such as Northern Alberta. Would be nice to see a study to show all predator numbers in areas hit hardest.
