Journal 58 1963 R & Bond Ojo Sayana, Chihuahua, 5000 ft Mexico April 20- continued * to D. Pablo (Buck) Romero, Ford Agency, Mexico City. Lopez believes that this bear is now in the zoo in Mexico City. In 1960 Lopez made a trip into the Sierra del Nido. On that trip he saw the remains of one large bear and two cubs that had apparently been killed by poison. The remains were near the carcass of a dead cow - apparently killed by the grizzlies (and the remains poisoned by the vaqueros). On that trip Lopez says that he saw the tracks of a grizzly that measured 16 inches. Lopez believes that since grizzlies have been protected no professional guides are hunting or taking hunters to hunt grizzlies. However he thinks that ranchers & vaqueros shoot or poison bears as opportunit offers. He claims that vaqueros actually carry poisoned dewet pellets (or balls) when travely in bear country and drop them when bear sign is encountered.
