Grizzly bear spotted in Squamish

Gate....

I know there are sightings towards Pemberton, but do you ever hear of them in the general Whistler vicinity? Up in the alpine in the summer?

The last time a grizzly was shot in Whistler itself (that I recall) was about 20 years ago. I ran into a grizzly in the swamp near Green Lake about the same time.

Every few years one does turn up somewhere in town, though.

Grizzlies use a corridor to travel that is not too far form Whistler, south. It woudl not surprise me one bit for a grizzly to turn up in one of the northern parts of Whsitler, either.

I remember reading something in the paper about biologists being worried about grizzlies in an area in Whistler that will be used for skiing during the olympics.

It could be a new event Grizz Slalom or Super "G" as in Grizz.

Hey Fisher Dude - what kind of hat is this guy wearing and where do you buy them? Looks pretty good for keeping you warm on those frosty, cold October moose hunts.

I think they sell those hats in the gift shop at Whistler. Not sure what it's made of though....nutria maybe?

[quote=Fisher-Dude]My understanding is that an expert from Whistler/Pemberton has been called in to deal with the bear. MoE officials say that there is only ONE thing that an adult grizzly bear is frightened of:

Isnt this the guy the Forest Ranger in the Kokanee commercials is trying .


To hunt down
