<p>With the help of Defenders of Wildlife and Tim Manley of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the Muths installed electric fencing to discourage bears Òfrom becoming dependent on a food source that can only end badly for the bears,Ó Bob Muth said. ÒA few destroyed fruit trees are a small price to pay to be able to witness the great bearÕs return,Ó he added. Muth was philosophical about the grizzlies: ÒThere are things that cannot be put into words. And the aura surrounding a wild grizzly bear is at the top of the list.
