I went up to open up the cabins this morning as we are full this weekend and this guy and I just missed each other....I walked in the front door and Sommer looked out the back window and said ahhhh...Mom...there's a bear in the back yard. Sure enough a Grizzly was eating the lush grass back there by our fire pit just off the deck. Curt gave him a yell and he gave Curt the..."ya whatever - get lost buddy" posture and went back to eating. So Curt pulled out the shot gun and let off 4 shots which only got him to casually walk back up the yard and into the creek. Not the usual response. So....one...you can be very close to a bear and not know it....two...if they don't scare off easily you have a problem...three...do not kill one without extreme cause as it is a huge fine and possible jail time - so be proactive when out on the trails and try to avoid encounters. Weather is supposed to be a bit rainy tomorrow but then beautiful at around +20 to +23 Sat and Sun. Join the Quad Squad out here and help support the volunteers in their efforts to keep areas and trails open..go to www.quadsquad.ca - Cheers - V
