Zoey; There was an article in the Oregonian a couple years back discussing recent confirmed sightings in the Wallowas...
As for Colo/NMex, despite repeated denials by Colorado Dept of Wildlife officials, there have been several reported sightings there including two alledged Grizzly attacks in recent years....In one attack a few years back, a hunting guide named Ed Wiseman killed a Grizzly sow that was mauling him by ramming an arrow into it......Here's an interesting discussion/debate by bowhunters, about the possibilty of Grizzlies in CO....Grizz in Colorado??

This thread is regarding grizzly sightings in the north cascades, not the rocky mountain states.

I'm curious as to when the last sighting at mount rainier occured. i thought grizzlies were long gone from there. I've seen black bears though. About 5 years back one of them actually made it all the way to a road near my house.

...I had made it over the Gap and had rafted Anewor. The trek down to Acceber was doo dah. No trail but no biggie either. I ate dinner at Acceber and had decided to trek down to Levohs before dark.
Just after leaving Acceber, descending but before entering the brush I stopped because I heard some loud grunting. I stopped in a group of tall cedars. At my feet was a scat pile 10" high and LARGE. Above me there were claw marks in the bark 3+ feet taller than I could reach. I stuck one finger into the claw mark and my finger went almost all the way into the mark. It was deep.
Below me some 70 yards distance, and 100+ feet lower in elevation was the outlet creek from Acceber. It was in that creek that the brush started moving back and fourth like there was a Volkswagen in there.
The grunting continued along with the brush movement, and then it stopped and Mr. bears head poked out of the brush.
I saw his head down the starting of his hump. His head was huge. There was like 3' between his little wiggling ears and his black nose.
He was reddish brown with some light color around his hump. He seemed to be smelling the air around his head. I was frozen, and time seemed to stand still for a while.
He went back into the brush and it moved around a lot. He poked his head out again once more before he and the brush movent moved east south east away from me until I couldn't see or hear any of it again.
Im no great white hunter, but I read a lot and have seen many of the television programs about bears. Nobody will convince me that what I saw wasn't a grizzly bear.
It was to big to be a black bear. It was the wrong color. It had a large hump behind its head.
I looked at the .357 magnum revolver that I carried a chuckled. "Well I said to myself, I'd better save one of these for me" I would have hated to have had to defend myself with that revolver. But the thought of carrying around a five pound Freedom Arms .475 Linebaugh revolver isnt good either.
Im glad nothing happened. I waited a while and then stayed up high on the hill I was originally descending as far as I could before making it down into the valley. I made it to Levohs lake a couple hours later. I didn't sleep much that night. I went out via Slevohs outlet the next day.

I read that article and got mad. Aren't we told NOT to feed the bears? And there they go. Feeding bears in the name of research. Stupid.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities
