Grizzly bears in Idaho area not uncommon.

But where in Idaho you find a grizzly is typically delegated to the northern panhandle and Yellowstone area in eastern Idaho.

But Idaho Fish and Game tells CBS 2 News it recently viewed video captured by a sportsman near the Continental Divide southeast of Salmon of a young grizzly bear in the spring of 2020.

“Although Idaho’s known grizzly bear populations are in the northern Panhandle and the Greater Yellowstone Area in eastern Idaho, it’s possible that grizzly bears could wander into the Salmon Region on a rare occasion where people aren’t expecting them,” Fish and Game says.

Young grizzlies are known to roam great distances and Fish and Game says it’s highly unlikely the bear is still in the area.
