On a more important note: When I was there I did notice some bear tracks - some pretty large ones and some baby ones. The Officer said that this is not a natural location for a bear. So if you are in the area be sure to have some spray with you.
A creek in the country is NOT a natural location for a bear?

The Enforcement Officer said it is very rare to have a bear east of Hwy 22. That is why it is not their natural area.

So a guy who's supposed to know the wildlife and their habitat doesn't know their habitat. is there an invisible fence on 22 that he thinks exist? Glad he got out of the house for one day...

Somebody better tell the bear out by the High river landfill he is too far east. Or maybe that fence on the creek is keeping him from going back west where his natural home is.
