Besides the law suits and everything else, how many other hunters do you think would put in for the dozen or so permits that they would offer if they even offered that many?

I don't know if they could generate that much money on a grizzly hunt. A hunter could for the same money head to Alaska or Canada and have everything catered to him.
Now I do see where on deer and elk where they get the big bucks for them, some people just go giddy when they see those huge racks on the top of their heads.

true, but to harvest the first grizzly bear in the Yellowstone ecosystem in a legal hunt I think would pull some cash. the being catered to part would be nice but kind of takes away from the rugged toughing it out part that we love about hunting. I'm sure as I age ill view this much different
, or when I have more money.

I went on a grizzly hunt in British Colombia a few years ago. It was my first guided hunt and I felt pampered to the T.
When I got up in the morning coffee was already done and ready for me along with a good breakfast. By the time breakfast was finished the horses were saddled and my lunch had been made. When we came back that night the wranglers took care of the horses and by the time that I had changed out of my hunting clothes dinner was ready. It was so rough that they even had a shower that consisted of a 3 gallon bucket with a shower head attached to it along with a on/off ball valve. You just put hot water into the bucket and then pulled it up above your head and turned it on. Then turned it off while you were soaping up and then back on to rinse off. That was a tough hunt to come home from, but I did not get a grizzly and only saw one in 9 days of glassing the grassy meadows.
Everyone should go on a hunt like that at least once.
