Geez, a toughie. If it was successful, you'd have the grizzly of Montana, Idaho, etc. A real big one is 800 pounds, four times the largest black bear. They eat a bunch, they are used to winter, hibernation, etc. What is there for them to eat....enough deer (hard to catch), any elk? Rivers where salmon spawn, where they won't eat fly anglers? (Acutally, not a bad idea, fewer of them, etc...). <br />I dunno, sounds like one of those ideas that sound good on the surface, but the unintended consequences....<br /><br />In the areas where they live, grizzly deal with canyons, but don't live in them. A 150 pound deer can distance it's self from a bear on a 60% slope. They need open country, miles and miles, no people, no farms, no rances. Otherwise they come into conflict, and lose, everytime. <br />The bears roam, they move. They won't stay within a confined space, they'll go out to whatever is on the boundry, towns, shopping malls, etc. <br />You just got too many people there.
