This contains a map of their historic and current range:

“A sow (female bear) can weigh upwards of 700 pounds, while boars (male bears) can reach upwards of 1700 pounds in coastal areas where their diet is high in fish.”

I am reminded of what was said about the Anchorage to Fairbanks AK road decades ago.

“If you stop, and get out of your car on that road, suddenly you are no longer at the top of the Food Chain.”

Living 45 miles from the Canadian border here in North Idaho, we have Grizzlies. Where I live sits directly between two Grizzly “Recovery Zones”. The last few years the Feds have had to put down at least 3 Grizzlies that have attacked livestock and threatened human habitation.

When folks bring up the “historical range” to justify not killing them or to support the recovery zones, what they fail to mention is that humans were in the lower 48 before Grizzly bears: https://www.ammoland.com/2022/05/grizzly-bears-are-migrants-to-the-lower-48/

Now I know you didn’t say this, but the “they were here first crowd” has no idea what they are talking about. Those folks just hate rural Americans.
