A year or so ago a Western Canadian Game Warden magazine had an article about a big grizzly between Entwistle and Chip lake that F&W had to deal with. If I remember right the bear was claiming a road killed moose along Hwy 16.
Bushrat .. you mention "Seems to be a lot of them moving east lately." Alberta should have some free range buffalo out there to slow the bears down from moving east.
Last time I was driving near Wiley west campground a big black bear crossed the road 30 feet in front of me like it owned the road. Lucky I was going slow enough to react or the bear would have taken me out. The bear was a well fed bucket head and I'm guessing it would have been a few years old.
