East of hwy 22 in the Dogpound area. I've also seen them just NW of. Cochrane a few times. There's enough of them around...

[Grizzly Adams]

Friend of my brothers encountered one crossing H 22 by the Harmattan gas plant. That same bear , or another hung around the plant land and killed a couple of calves, but a year later. Robert Wagner was killed just a little NW west of there. Don't tell me they're endangered.

Sorry for the derail but was quadding to the river yesterday and come across grizzly track that was 7-8" wide.

[A Dyck]

Another derail This Friday there was a black bear 4 miles east of Acme, just a little lost!

[bessiedog]

Bout 7 years ago. Crossed the road behind us when we stopped to figure out what was running in the cow pasture.

Younger one. Came within 30 yards of us.
We were on our way to hunt pheasants that morning.

Not to derail...

But I had my encounter with one last Wed, during a trail run.
Big one blew right by me at 50 yards. Never gave me a moments norice thank god!

Changed my shorts when I got home.

Grizz

I hunted that stretch of river quite often in the fall of 2011 while working in the area.

[thirty-30]

50km south of Fox Lake, Alberta, near an area that shows up on google maps as Harper's Creek.

These are people I know very well who saw it, and know animals and would not lie.

Apparently SRD laughed at them.

[pickrel pat]

draw a line from edmonton east.....then from edmonton south......pretty much a grizz or 2 in every wmu there.

I more or less started the thread to find out how much of pre settlement grizz range they are repopulating since the suspension of the hunt.

IIRC most of the province held bears in suitable habitat.

I do remember reading in the Alberta Game Warden magazine about a sow and cubs shot in Conklin about 2000-2001.

I did see a sow and cubs on hiway 88 about 50 k north of marten mountain provincial park in 1997 or so.

I know of sightings and incidents in WMU 510 over the last few years and have heard of supposed sightings in the Boyle area as well as the Wolf lake grazing reserve south of the CLAWR.

[KegRiver]

They've been in this are at least as long as I've been alive.

I remember playing on a grizzly bear hide when I was real young, around five or six. Story was it went ofter one of dad's cow and he shot it.

I gather that happened around 1956, the hide was still around in the mid 60s

[Dog hunter]

Saw fresh signs of a monster in 542 in november 2012 and there r frequent sightings south of driftpile

[Lr1000]

In the valley of willow creek about 1km west of pine coulee.
