Bahahaha! Oh boy, that made my day!
An interesting internet pic
I once had a guy tell me a story of following up on a raven sighting and coming on a Grizzly kill, just like that. He said, at first he thought the bear was dead, then he noticed the claws were twitching. He got the Hell out of Dodge.

We came upon similar a few years ago in East Central Sask during an elk season - last week of September - fellows at camping site had taken two at a river crossing - next day partner walked in to the scene - black bear sound asleep on top of the gut pile - the two piles had been dragged into one pile and he was snoozing right on top of it!!! Finders keepers, apparently!!

Grizz - have not seen one. Have not seen wolves or cougars either. A fellow about 30 km straight across that lake trapped and shot about 30 "timber wolves" last winter. Cougars have been sighted in many areas near the river valley. Got pictures of a Canadian Lynx crossing this yard a few winters ago. Where there is game, there will be predators - they go together - have done so for thousands of years. More moose/elk = more wolves. More deer = more cougars / coyotes. More chokecherries seem to bring more black bears!!! And so does the dead fish washed up on shore - usually hit by boats going by - bears and others know to walk the shoreline for "opportunities"!!! We often see coyotes or black bears patrolling that far shore - same thing is occurring on our side, I am sure!
Here in North-Central BC, those piles of leaves, dirt and sticks are not uncommon.
Under them will always be some dead animal, or parts of one. Grizzly Bears are
usually not that far away. I get cautious instantly if I spot one of those piles. Call
me "chicken" if you like, but I have no intent of being surprised by an angry Grizzly.
I just retreat carefully, and leave the area. If I had to shoot one, I would, but then
the rigamarole with the conservation services subsequently is a pain. Dave.

"... hears growling..." - or simply hear something "big" coming hard through the bush - towards you - from direction that you are not looking ...
*hears something simply big* "oh a mob of kangaroos mate"
Several decades ago, I had an altercation with a Grizzly over a moose I had shot several hours earlier.
Today, we are required to walk away, and let the Grizzly have the animal.
Such was not the rule back then, and I was not about to give my moose to Mr Grizzly.
His hide resides with a long time friend of mine, who asked if he could have it as a reminder of the
incident, lol. Dave.
