POLARIS has the wrost customer service that I have ever worked with and it is sad that the customer has to identified quality issues from the manufacturing process: I am now wondering what else is going to go wrong: BE CAREFUL RZR owners: you may have a bad weld on your steering and don't think POLARIS CARES!

I am however a concerned citizen of SE Idaho who follows grizzly bear research and bear management practices in the Greater Yellowstone area. Concerned because the attitude here by so many is so negative towards the big bruins. Yeah, I kinda like 'em. They need all the help they can get to make it in their ever shrinking habitat. You've probably heard about the development that will shortly take place near Lamont. More bear habitat becomes privitized! Every time a Grizz presses westward, it gets poached by unintelligent redneck hunters who misidentify the species, or destroyed for "management" reasons . As for the smaller wolves that you used to see 20 years ago, uh........newsflash, it's called a COYOTE!!! Or, consider this, wolves come in different sizes. There are adults, subadults, pups, etc... They are not all huge full grown adult animals. On another topic --You're not the officer who shot and left the guy's dog in teton valley are you? Was that under K. Cook's command as well? Big dog,

NO I WAS AND THE BEAR WAS GOING TO BREAK THE SNARE. THERE WAS NO TIME TO WAIT FOR SEDATION. THE DECISION TO PUT THE BEAR DOWN WAS MADE BY IDFG AND THE SHERIFFS OFFICE NOT JUST ONE PERSON. SO YES YOU ARE WRONG! UNLESS YOU WERE THERE HOW CAN YOU COMENT? YOU SOUND LIKE YOU GET YOUR INFO FROM THE COFFEE SHOP NOT ME. BELEAVE ME NO ONE WHANTED TO KILL THE BEAR. IT WAS A LAST RESORT. SORRY IF YOU THINK DIFF. AS FOR THE WOLVES I DONT KNOW MUTCH ABOUT THEM. BUT I KNOW WHAT I SAW 20 YEARS AGO AND THEY WERE NOT AS BIG AS THE WOLVES THAT I SEE TODAY. SO YES I THINK THE WOLVES WE HAVE NOW ARE DIFF. THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENT ARE YOU IDFG OR FOREST SERV were you there? NO I WAS AND THE BEAR WAS GOING TO BREAK THE SNARE.

Dude you need to read up on your natural history. Historically the canadian gray wolves were here. Canis lupis was common throughout the west back in the day. But I do agree with you, when you take something away from wild critters (i.e. habitat, native food items, etc), you have to give them something back. We take their habitat to put up ranches to grow livestock to feed us. We hunt their prey (elk, moose, etc.), then we get mad when they eat our livestock and try to eat "our" elk. WHAT THE HELL DO WE EXPECT THEM TO EAT?!!! As far as grizz 398 that was killed last year, I disagree with you big dog. the bear was caught in a leg snare. There are sedation drugs (telazol) to immobilize the bear and then put it in a culvert trap and move it to a location far away in the greater yellowstone ecosystem, Wyoming does it all the time! Idaho just hasn't figured out how to do that yet. My personal opinion is that Kim Cook of TC sheriff's office called for the destruction of this bruin and nobody objected too much. Or am I wrong? Big dog, I respect your comments, but come on, you sound like you get your info from the locals at the town coffee shop or bar purely anecdotal...In other words, it's not science based. big dog,

I WAS ALSO THE FIRST DEPUTY ON SCENE THE NIGHT OF THE ATTACK. YOU COULD HEAR THE BEAR BEHIND THE HOUSE POPPING HIS JAW AND PAWWING AT THE GROUND. THE DAY THE BEAR WAS SHOT WE HAD NO CHOICE THE BEAR WAS TO AGGRESSIVE. ARE OWN LIVES WERE IN JEOPARDY. AFTER THE BEAR WAS SHOT WE FOUND THAT THE BEAR HAD BEEN TAGGED IN THE EAR WITH A RED TAG AND WAS TATTOOED IN THE MOUTH. AND YES IT WAS THE SAME BEAR FROM THE ATTACK FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WANDERING. IT WAS A EDUCATIONAL AND NONFORGETABLE EXPEARINCE. IT ALSO WAS A SAD EXPEARINCE. BECUSE PEPOLE ARE MOVING IT TO THEIR HABITAT AND WANT THEM GONE. SAME WITH THE WOLVES (THEY WERE HEAR FIRST PEOPLE AND THEY NEED RESPECT) I"M A AVID HUNTER AND LOVE TO BE IN THE HILLS SO DONT THINK I'M A TREE HUGER. I'M FAR FROM IT BUT THE ANIMALS NEED THEIR HOMES TO. I DO THINK THAT THE WOLVES NEED TO BE WATCHED MORE AND DELT WITH BETTER. IDFG SAYS THAT IDAHO HAD NO WOLVES BEFORE THEY WERE BROUGHT BACK. (BULL SHIT IV SEEN THEM) THE WOLVES THAT WERE BROUGHT IN WERE NOT NATIVE TO IDAHO AND WERE UNFAMILER WITH THE AIREA. THEY ARE A LOT BIGGER THAN THE NATIVE WOLF AND PROBBALY KILLED THE REST OF THE NATIVE ONES OFF. YOU PUT SOMTHING IN A UNFAMILAR PLACE AND IT WILL DO THE EASYIST THING TO SURVUVE KILL LIVESTOCK, DOGS, ECT,ECT. BACK TO THE BEAR ! THE BEAR WAS FOUND TO BE 15 YEARS OLD AND WEIGHED CLOSE TO I BELIEVE 500 POUNDS IT WAS STUFFED AND PLACED IN THE TETON VALLY MUSIUM WERE IT IS ON DISPLAY FOR ALL TO SEE. THANK YOU!

I live in Alaska no matter where you turn in every community in this state you must be aware. If a bear eats your dog or cat you watch it eat it and get another. you kill it your in deep doo doo. only special circumstances allow the extermination of wildlife, as your bear I would not have believed to be rogue, they sometimes go long periods without a kill and taking down a moose is no small feat and quite tiring, so I would picture in my minds eye after taking the moose and extracting the heart and devouring it, it meandered off to rest a while when it was disturbed by the barking dog and perhaps felt it's hard earned kill was at risk of being lost was going to defend it, and the man wound up in the situation of the wrong place at the wrong time, for surely if the bear wanted to make short work of the gentleman your community would have been attending a wake instead of the media covering a bear mauling story. Be loud make some noise disturb your neighbors a little don't leave dog food out, stop putting out bird seed, and some Wolves and Coyotes are rabid too so be aware of that also. remember those animals are just as nervous around humans, standing your ground and making yourself look as big as possible and yell your head off, bang on something to spook the animal, running always always triggers the hunting attack instinct. We are all animals just of different breeds and the only reason there are so many humans is because the animals are unable to load and carry fire arms and drink and drive. with that being said Have a safe and happy coexistance with gods wonderful gifts of nature and patience with the errors of your fellow man god bless you all...

He should have known better than to go outside at night. He also should have had the dog in the house for safety. The bear was just doing what bears do....try to survive.

They don't seem to realized that there are over 6 billion of us! How many bears? How long will wilderness last? We are so selfish and short-sighted, which is a natural trait, but destroys room for other living things. There's no such thing as a controlled wilderness. Carry a firearm, but realize anything can happen. Don't be a panzy and call for destruction every time someone gets attacked for playing in the wilderness. I hunt and eat meat, but people are funny.
