Up here brown bears are the equivalent to grizzly bears in the lower 48.

Yeah, that’s not the same. We have black bears. I’ve seen a mother and cub a couple of years ago near my home, and I saw a big guy from my car as I was driving my dog to the local abandoned campus running out of the woods towards the tennis courts (and then saw my car and ran back into the woods).
