Default grizz

Moose Tracker pretty well covered it. I have trapline in 346. Grizz around until December. Some tracks off and on even in winter when boars come out for a stroll. They even have grizz corridor through middle of 346 so hopefully grizz will wander to Swanhills to build up their population. I carry a 357 magnum for protection.
