The story of Old Ephraim being killed in 1923 is a good one. This article from USU, which has the skull, is pretty good. Based on the article, you'd have to think that grizz from 1916 was one of the last in Southern, UT.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-25-13 AT 12:33PM (MST)[p]Interesting read on Old Eph. It's note worthy that the hunter was consumed by killing the bear..."I have sworn eternal vengeance on bears and it shall be mine." After finally killing the grizzly that drove his passion, he realized the thrill was in the chase and not the kill.

Cool story.
Just goes to show that there is a long line of Nimrods in Utah that go way back.

For you guys that enjoy these old stories, there's a very good book called "Old Mose". He was one of the last grizzlies to roam the South Park country in Colorado. A lot of good photos and really interesting reading about this true story.

Sorry to be a hater, but in my book the only good grizz is a dead one. Don't get me wrong, they have a place in the wild, just not in the lower 48.

So you also believe in the boogie man and the big bad wolf then.

You are correct, I do believe in the boogie man. Winning the game against him was my career for 28 yrs. I also believe in the big bad wolf. As a Sheep Dog I've done pretty well in that arena also. More important though is that I believe in and love our savior Jesus Christ.
Even though you are but a libtard troll, I'm still praying for you!

Really pipe?
"You give religion a bad name". You a funny mofo! Nice try, my button doesn't get pushed that easy. "It's mostly shopping malls and cheatgrass these days". Do you ever leave the city. Oh, stupid question. Of course you don't. Those of us that actually spend time in the out doors know that most of Utah is still unpopulated. Pipe, you also are but a libtard troll. But you too are one of God's children and I'll continue to pray for you.

NORKALNIMROD-I knew you were going to pray for me, and maybe I need it.
Did you ever wonder if Grizzly bears are some of gods children too?
I was born in Utah and love the state, climbed many of the high peaks, backpacked and hunted all over.
The late 1800s and early 1900s is when the heavy unregulated livestock grazing took place and set everything in motion and forever changed the landscape in Utah.

Piper,
The Lord created man in his image. We are God's children. The creatures of the earth are also God's creation, however they are not His children but were created for us to rule over. I do not hate grizzlies, I do respect them and they do have a place in our environment, North of the continental United States. When I was a youngster I worked in Alaska. Bears were my job. I am proud to say I was able to resolve all situations I was involved in without killing a bear. That said I also came to realize that grizzlies, unlike their black bear cousins do not co-exist well with humans. Not saying black bears aren't dangerous, they are. Black bears are responsible for more injuries to humans each year than grizzlies.
