Check out the pipelines, the bears often browse on them when they leave their dens.

Make sure you're outside the city limits. :D

Yup and funny thing about that, Finding the city limits is kinda tricky. I pass two signs on my way home saying "fort McMurray city limits" but yet my house is still in city limits. With the quad drop off points on tower and in abasand and lots of other trails made in the woods, not that hard to make a wrong assumption.

For anyone who is unsure, here's a link to a map showing the urban service area boundary in Ft. McMurray:

I just meant there are bears everywhere there and you don't need to go far to find them. :lol:
