On MT83 south of Bigfork, north of Seeley Lake. Actually Seeley isn't a bad place to live either.

Lots of bear and deer there. They also get a lot of snow. No jobs to speak of and the property prices kept me from buying anything there as well as the Plains / Thompson Falls area.

Not really - I have three or four dens on the property, but only have seen one breeding sow and two cubs in the last five years.
When I lived in Wyoming, I saw Grizz almost every week. And, many times with my dead sheep. The "law" prevented me from killing them on the spot.

The Easterners and Kalis wanted change after their first winter and voted everything like it was back home - now it's ruined for the rest of us. No jobs thanks to the enviro wackos, who only have summer homes here. I lost my job driving logs on account of them.

Probably for the best. A Grizzly is not an animal that should be killed for eating in its own habitat.
