I'm headed up just NW of Prince George in a couple of weeks and was wondering whether any of my B.C. brothers have been seeing any bears out around there??? We have always done real well with the outfitter that we go with (Salmon River)but I was just curious. Its been three years since our last bear hunt.

I'm in the 100 mile area and I'm seeing them here but the numbers are still low.

If they are out here they should be out up there. I live at over 4000ft.

Good luck on your hunt.

We have started to see them in the last few days around here and in the Kispiox area

Saw my first bear last night.

Cute, but strange little fellow.

I approached him quite closely, about 10 feet away. He was down a little bank, fully aware of me.

He jumped up a tree a little, then seemed to have a little trouble pulling himself up higher. Eventually, he came down and just stared at me, panting.

Didn't really run away, woofed quietly oce or twice, that's it. I was concerned that it was either a yearling that had just been chased off by mom, or maybe lost it's mom...

I decided it didn't need to be stressed out any further by me and left it alone.

Strangely, I was wearing a black t-shirt and black shorts, and afterwards I wondered if he thought I was just another bear!

Anyways, the bears are coming out, and you shoudl have no trouble with your hunt. Good Luck!

Saw a few between Hazelton and Rupert. Should be alot more out in 2 weeks.

That's two people posting about my favorite area.

I can't remember, do you live up there Tod or just traveling through?
