"The truth is that grizzlies in the Interior have a range of one hundred square miles. Unless you know where to find them and what to look for, you're lucky to spot a pigeon-toed track much less a real bear. Yet the primal fear one feels when hiking in grizzly country persists. A fresh pile of spoor or the site of an excavated hill where a grizzly has torn up everything to get at roots or a squirrel is sure to raise the hair on the back of the human neck."
—James Campbell, The Final Frontiersman (New York and London: Atria Books, 2004), 131
