Campbell River Grizz

[IronNoggin]

From Facebook: Cermaq Canada

Our Little Bear Hatchery, located north of Campbell River is living up to its name. In the last two weeks, our employees have seen a cougar, as well as a momma black bear and her cub. Today - our employees spotted this big beauty foraging along the river. This is the second grizzly in less than a year as we had another big fella near the hatchery last fall. Who says Vancouver Island doesn't have grizzlies? Thanks to our employee Frank for sending the pic in.

It's interesting, I've been watching the story as the campsite nearby is closed until further notice. Someone had a fairly recent pic of one swimming right towards the island and almost there.

Not the first to swim across the narrow water off North VI. This one got itself shot.

Never seen one on Vancouver Island, they have made a statement in regs for a couple years. I have seen many on a few islands in between mainland and less than 1 km from VI. Remember being stranded on Hardwick for a night and my host showed me a sow with 3 cubs not 50 yds from their cabin. Only a matter of time before they find our small deer and fluffy spirit bears as a nice satisfying meal. Leave Thursday for 2 weeks inside passage mainland fiords, do hope to see some on beach's while we are fishing/BB hunting.
