And of course it is well established fact that controlled hunting is extremely beneficial to the hunted species as a whole, as it keeps the population fit and viable.

Grizzlies are not known to overproduce, deer maybe. In fact, they are a threatened species and on the borderline of being protected. While some grizzlies have been known to eat humans, they don't go out of their way to do so unless threatened (mom with cubs, too close, etc.). If human meat was their main course, they'd be stalking the campsites right now.
Just to get this straight. Most hunters hunt to bag a trophy and for the thrill of hunting. The side benefit of food for the masses is a nice thought but pretty much a rationale, especially when the target is a grizzly. Let's not try to justify the "sport" by telling us how early in the morning hunters rise, the cold temperatures they endure or the miles they walk to get from point a to point b. My wife does that every morning with her crazy jogging friends.
