<P> Less than 75 years after the discovery of gold in 1848 , almost every grizzly bear in California had been tracked down and killed . One prospector in Southern California , William F. Holcomb ( nicknamed `` Grizzly Bill '' Holcomb ) , was particularly well known for hunting grizzly bears in what is now San Bernardino County . The last hunted California grizzly was shot in Tulare County , California , in August 1922 , although no body , skeleton or pelt was ever produced . Two years later in 1924 , what was thought to be a grizzly was spotted in Sequoia National Park for the last time , and thereafter , grizzlies were never seen again in California . </P>
