Yup that is a grizz. Good thing it's July and kids aren't walking to school.

[Davey Boy]

Likely the same one that was in Cochrane last week?

[Ryry4]

Can't be, they don't roam that far east. :thinking-006:

Wasn't that one right in town?

Did F&W not trap and relocate it?

I read that they put out a trap but hadn't heard if they caught it or not.

Kids don't walk to school; that's what SUVs are for.

Beauty! 100% Grizz. As for the story, I especially like the part where they tell people to "make sure your pets are on a lease."

[dollfin]

Second one might be fatter but a couple weeks of good foraging might do that too.

Wouldn't that be considered "baiting"? :sHa_sarcasticlol:

I was more wondering why people would want to lease their pets out.

It Was the only place around here without any Grizz.

Strathmore is next on the list.

You had yours. For some reason he left and went east to Beiseker.

Another one recently visited Vulcan.


Time to redo the Grizzly Bear Management Area Maps.

So just to clarify bear in semi urban subdivision,eats some grass perhaps a few berries or veggies. Flees at the sight of woman on deck then wanders off to go abought his dsy ..crazy I thought they were killers of men and such . Wow all those pets and people had no idea it was even there ...and survived whoo that was lucky .... or perfectly ordinary as said bear has been a very short distance away from humans for quite a while now without incident well other than a knocked over garbage. Wow some real conservationist minded outdoors follk one bear sighting and the speices has recovered neat-o.

Well that took longer longer than I expected...

Wow! I mean..... Wow. Not even sure how to respond to that. We didn't have an incident yet. Maybe ask the guy who thought he could live with them about that. He didn't have a incident either until the last day.

So he lived with numerous grizz for many years literally in contact daily at fisty cuff distance. And one bear took exception ...thats safer than that close of contact with a similar group of humans over that lenth of time. ... how abought the guy that raises grizz cubs in alaska??? He keeps a similar close contact with numerous bears....and lived. Bears are to be respected of course,however they dont prey on humans as a rule cause if they did no one would go out side.

You think living with G Bears is safer than living with humans? :thinking-006:

Statistically yes. In reality no. The incident in this case does shows they are not exactly the ravaging killers some would have us believe. In the US 130 bear attributed deaths in the 20th century . Deer kill approximately that number each year in vehicle collisions.

I haven't seen a grizzly since I was a kid playing in my sand box. We lived west of Bragg Creek when all they had for a grocery store was the Red Rooster. There were two we named Bo and Rosco that roamed the area. (Big dukes of hazard fans). It was two hundred feet from my sand box to the back door and I don't ever remember being concerned. Someone shot Bo just outside the forest reserve when I was six. Just shot him. Didn't take his hide or anything.

He was a nice bear.
