What is the furthest east out of traditional/foothills habitat that you have seen a grizzly bear or evidence of?

[3blade]

One was chewing someone's bee gives around barrhead a couple years ago, got relocated.

Common knowledge they were around Conklin when I worked up there 8 years ago, saw some pretty big tracks in the spring. Never thought much of it, kinda what you expect to see in the woods.

Sure would be a story if a few could string together enough coulees and woodlots to make it back to Manitoba.

Approx 15 years ago we had one clean up a moose gut pile, 15 km west and 1 km north of Rimbey. About 1 week later assuming the same bear, was feeding on a dead horse on the edge of the grazing lease.

About 8 - 9 years ago, Open creek dam, the overflow area was closed to campers due to Grizzly bear activity, (main campground was already closed for the season).

This was posted last night on my daughters face book page from a friend of ours who lives just outside of Drum.

there are 2 grizzly bears with several sightings in the beiseker area (not travelling together)...and apparently one was just spotted north of Strathmore!! Keep your pets inside, do NOT approach them and contact the authorities asap if you see either of them. They are not just black bears, apparently fish and wildlife said they are grizzlys! Heads up and share.. Check out the Beiseker page for more info because that's all I'll know probably til after work

Keg river, right off of highway 35.

[Redfrog]

North of Manning in 2006.

Thought someone posted about grizzly around mayerthorpe last year. Seems to me the bears are doing quite well. Maybe when they're spotted in the Edmonton river valley we'll be able to hunt them again.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Even if they hit cold lake or provost. The government is more interested on taking away hunters rights then giving them in my opinion.

I saw a picture of one north east of Beiseker 100% black bear.

Mid eighties, brother and I were hunting for ruffed grouse just north of Chip Lake. At a cross in the cut-lines, came across a large grizzly about 100 yards up wind of us. Initially couldn't make out what it was since we only saw a portion of the rear end, but then the bear decided the berries were better on the other side of the cut line, and we got a relay good side view. Phoned it in to Fish & Wildlife the next Monday, and the fellow on the other end told me he normally would have said I can't tell my bears apart, but that he had received a half-dozen calls about a grizz there over the past month, and on caller become so ****ed off at being told he didn't know his bears that he brought in a plaster cast as proof.

North of Fawcett Lake about 5 miles west of Howard Lake. Sept 2012. He was clawing the hell out of a tree. Good sized one. Saw it from about 150 yds.

[Ryry4]

I've got a friend that had one in his yard last year. He's south west on Nanton, east of Hwy 22.

Haven't there been sightings of grizzlies in the Ft. McMurray area?

[Snm]

Elbow lake area! Stumbled into one while crossing a river... came up behind him..heard some cracking and there was a grizzly about 7 feet at the shoulders...good thing i had some fresh boxers.

That was what my friends got calling in their sighting.

[walking buffalo]

A rough map of confirmed G Bear sightings south of Calgary. (West of the red line)

[Coniferous]

East of Lodgepole- range road 95 WMU 337. I was just talking to a conservation officer and it just popped out of the bush and stared at us for about 2 min.

Grizz

[JoshT]

My grandpa has a trapline south of manning and he was saying a few weeks ago that F&W relocated about 5 there recently. And he's been seeing 1 every year for the past 4 years. A sow and two cubs just last year.

Grizz

Right in there with the cattle. Yeesh.

[Team Anzac]

Mariana lakes 100 kms south of Fort mac.

[Roughneck Country]

buddy from Red Water area (Just north of Ft Sask) swears he has seen them there. I told him I need a trail cam pic to believe it. He has a cam out now trying to catch her on the camera. I guess it is supose to be a grizz and cubs.

[Windago]

One of the landowners I know out the Newbrook way told me a grizz was shot north east of long lake in the late 60's.

Pretty big chunk of bush in that area.

[honda610]

North of fort mc murray between jackfish lake and six lakes. Known as richardson back country. April 2000

[raised by wolves]

Ran into the sow and cub south of Raymond, on and near Faye Walker's place, then again over by the MacInyre Ranch during the fall of 2008.

Ran into a big boar 1 km north of Newbrook, where the remains of Brownee Road intersect the rail line.

[titegroup]

Any thoughts if they make into the Cypress Hills, since their already southeast of Raymond, or would F&W intervine for public safety?
