Actually Matt, I have personally hunted the Willmore Wilderness Area on horseback, so I am quite familiar with the area and I can tell you first hand that there are lots of Grizzly in the area.

I can also tell you that Grizzly predation on ungulates is very low in comparison to Wolf predation on calf and mature ungulates which is way higher as in x100
