Some great photos.
Lived in that area for some time about 50 years ago working as a mining surveyor in Cassiar so know the country well. Those days there were plenty of moose & caribou especially in the Dease, Telegraph area. Bears were considered as vermin those days & many were shot on sight. No doubt they had fear of men.

Terminating the grizz hunt was a colossal mistake by the commies to appease the tree huggers.

A single grizz is capable of killing up to 40 calves(moose, caribou..) per season(50% are female). Do the math.
Wolves are also successful predators but unmatched by the bears I'm sure.

To bring back the dwindling game numbers the bear numbers must be controlled be it by hunting or otherwise.
