Default Encounter with a Bear in Edmonton's river valley today.
So I go for my walk this morn in the river valley and as I am walking I hear something crashing thru the bush towards me. Before i know it I have a big bear latching onto my leg. I held onto a tree and the bear started yanking and pulling my leg... just like I'm pulling yours. haha


...April fools...

Glad that worked out ok.
The one fellow back in 2010 had a bear clamp onto his leg. It ripped his calf mussel off.
He said the bear “ ate my meat and loved it”

Nay they would have been still sleeping with the young prey they caught last night at the bars.
