fishjunkie Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I found this link https://www.mountainviewbearsmart.com/bear_activity_report.php looking for the news article. I was surprised to see there was grizzly sighting east of Bergen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhunt Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Historically, there would have been griz all across the prairies, but they would have been killed and/or retreated to the mountains to avoid human contact. I wonder now if the population has expanded significantly (as some think) or if the bears are being pushed out of the non-park mountainous areas due to the amount of human activity in terms of logging, O&G, recreation, etc. Thinking back to where I grew up, it wasn't unusual to have bears come down out of the hills in the fall to eat silage corn, or oats, or what ever, but it was more of transient thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekside Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 google grizzly's in Manitoba. Be nice to know what really happened. I'll bet they saw a bear with cubs from a distance, slowed down to take some close up and got to close, cubs scampered off, they then probably rolled in a bit closer for better photos, or tried to drive by trying not to disturb the sow. No matter what it's apparent they got to close the comments on the outdoorsman are frightening.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailhead Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 A friend of mine has had a cabin off the Big Prairie Road for 15 years and he told me they are common in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
