Grizzlies are not as intimidating how everyone likes to think. I’ve seen mother mooses chase them off, small dogs, and even 170 pound pumas. Polar bears are what you need to watch out for, they are 100% carnivores and can track your sent from 32KGs or 20 miles away and are almost always hungry.

I'm like 95% certain I saw this bear once about 9ish years ago when I lived in Banff. I was out on a hike a bit west of town, and I was watching a herd of caribou in a meadow a bit below me, probably about 600m or so away. Suddenly a few of them poked their heads up on a swivel for a few seconds then bolted, causing the whole herd to take off. About a minute later this hulking beast of a bear walked out from the taller grass near the treeline across the meadow and started heading towards a small pond there. This would have been in the first week of October, so I imagine he was bulking up before his hibernation, but boy was I glad to be upwind of him. I didn't stick around long - didn't have a camera that could get a shot from that distance and I didn't want to risk being bear food lol, back to town I went.
@alan4sure2 жыл бұрын
West of Banff? And you saw Caribou! Lol I doubt there's been a caribou in that area of Banff Park for 75 yrs. Maybe elk, but not caribou, pal. A small number still exist in Jasper Park, 100's of km north of Banff. Good story--- but highly suspect.

@@S3MTX An old bear who has never caused trouble for humans, but is a survivor & successful hunter, is exactly the kind of animal you want to live on. If you genuinely thought that there were too many bears around, or that the local population was causing trouble for humans, you’d be looking to take out the younger bears who are trying to expand their range. When you take out the matriarchs & patriarchs of a population, you destabilize the hierarchy. Old giants keep balance. That goes for many, many different species. You’re not arguing in favour of self-defence, or population control. You want a gun for a toy, to play with & claim trophies with. You’re impressing no one.

Then we kids would play in the dry dump for the pipeline, light fires, dump stuff, the kinds of things you'd get arrested for in the big city. Good time, Windfall.
