I was sure that I'd seen Grizz tracks but now I have the proof.

don't mean to turn this thread political but being that close to calgary it is probably another griz that got "missed" in the provincial count

The ratio of counted AB Griz to AB Giz is almost as bad as the ratio of registered enfields in Canada to enfields in Canada.

What WMU was that in?

I heard a neighbours colt was killed in his corral a couple years ago by a Grizz, just NW of the city.

Hahaha, black bear...


I've seen griz in areas I reallllly did not expect to see them (and was not adequately equipt for)

had a griz sneak up on me on a mountain above the nahatlatch river... Only 30 ish KM for Boston Bar BC last summer..... Boston Bar!! for crap sakes.

We've had a few just over the pass at the end of the nahatlatch river, in the Rogers creek area, where I am working right now, in the last few years.

They trapped a Griz before it became a huge problem in Squamish a few years back (8-10 yrs) and took him up behind Manning Park and released him.
They tagged him and fitted with a radio tracking colar and after a few months general direction was back to Squamish, never ever did read any more if he made it back or made a turn for Boston Bar
Anyways, dont want to hijack the thread further , but to say again thats a Nice looking Rug for someone .

Hmmm, I take my family camping up Nahatlatch quite often. Never ever saw any wildlife though. Methinks they wont approach a campground.

Nice looking bear for sure! Don't forget the golden rule of trail cams.... clean hands always!

Agreed! I wear those blue rubber gloves when I swap out memory cards. My first trail cam got busted by a black bear the first day I put it out a few years ago.

It's a griz alright!

I had a little trouble with one a couple weeks ago behind the house. He won't be coming back any day soon.

Is he suffering from hot lead in the ass?

 

[foxytrapper]

Nice grizz, his hide doesn't look rubbed.

Check this out... same location different Grizz:

And this is what a black bear looks like in the same spot:

Great shots HD

Fantastic pictures. That second griz is a scarey looking beast! What are they coming to there a lick or scent?

 

[MapleSugar]

That's a cute little color phase blackie...

Ha! I thought you were serious at first until I saw the winking smiley.

Those are some pretty big grizzlies.

It is always nice not to see them up close.

Cool pics of magnificent animals for sure.

Nice looking bear, nicer looking rug

Not in Alberta, unfortunately. Our grizzly population is 'threatened'. Maybe someday...

I really like the light tips on that first ones coat.

 

[pharaoh2]

Nice bears and great photos!

 

[rookie wildcat]

I seriously think I would change hunting locations. One bear, okay, I'd take the chance. 3? I'd go elsewhere if they are still hanging around come hunting season, even if one was a black bear. That second grizz looks a little bigger than I want to mess with.
Nice pics, BTW. Looking forward to more.
