Really very cool to be involved in something positive. Awesome.
Sounds like a big undertaking. Why are they being transported to a different part of the island? Just curious.

They might try. Bison are pretty tough survivors

And if they're full grown the bear won't stand a chance.

Keep one important fact in mind. Coastal Brown Bear and interior Grizzlies are basically the same species of Ursa. However, Coastal Bruins get much larger then their inland cousins due to a extremely abundant food source provided from the sea! Spawning Salmon that return from sea to breed and die in the coastal rivers. Clams they dig and other marine life at low tide and even the occasional and actually fairly common beached whale. Coastal Bears can get almost twice as big and grow almost twice as fast as an inland bear. A 1200 to 1500 lb Kodiak Bear can and have killed Bison on the Island before and more than once! They go for smaller Bison like cow's and calf's before they try to take on an 1800lb Mature bull Bison of course. However, they pursue and kill Cattle on the Island much more often than Bison! Bison are tuff tuff tuff no doubt!
