The wild kingdom

Mon Jun 15, 2009, 8:27 PM
I havent really had a whole lot of time to update since I got up to Kananaskis, as things have been pretty hecktic around here(at least as far as bear management is concernd). We have not had the best of luck with some of our collared bears recently, as a sow and her cub were hit by a train last week and another had her brand new cub killed by another bear a few days ago. On top of that all of the high picturesque alpine hikes are still coverd in a few feet of snow, meaning that for the time being I am limited to the valley and some southwest facing slopes. No matter I hope to be getting back into the groove of things as stuff settles down around here and the snow begins to melt off.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me identify the species of a bear I saw in Yellowstone this week. [link]

It looks like a black to me, but a ranger there said it was a young grizzly. Thanks

Hey Trent! I just looked at Best Friends magazine this month and there is an article on dogs in Canmore trained to work with griz. On pg 55 there was a picture of you! You probably already know but I thought was really cool. Cheers
Thats really cool. I drove around with that photographer for a day, and he really wanted to get some shots of us working bears but that was the one day I all summer long I didnt see one. I havent seen the picture or article, how did you find it?

What?! The ONE day you didn't see a bear? I severely underestimated that. Anyways, I just happened to see the Feb/March issue of Best Friends magazine and saw the headline of bear dogs in Canada and flipped to the article and there is your mug! You should track down the issue.
No seriously that was the only work day all summer I didnt see a bear. My boss actually sent the photographer up to spend the day with me because it was pretty much a garuntee to see bears on my shifts. I have to find an article
