Grizzly rut?

While out for a drive today in WMU400 we came across these tracks. They were mixed in with a bunch of atv tracks so it was hard to keep straight. It was actually my 7yr old daughter who found a second set and pointed them out. Pretty sure there was 2 different sets together.
When des grizzly breeding season occur?

May 10 - 25 kind of thing. Maybe 10 days to 2 weeks before black bears.

When a female and 3 year old cubs come out of the den there is not a whole lot of difference in size of their tracks.

I've seen 3 year old boar cubs that were actually taller and longer then their mother, just didn't have the bulk yet.

Could have been the same bear twice, they like to use established trails.

Could very well be. Just at glance one seemed a bit different size. Perhaps the cameras will pick something up.
