In a separate area out by bearberry I’ve seen more bears and bear sign than I’ve ever seen out there and I go out there a lot, they’ve always been there but there are more now.

There was already a noticeable movement of bears from the ballooning NW Montana population into the Waterton and Castle areas before the fire, which is why bears were being seen in unexpected areas off the east slope.
