Things in Jasper National Park are much better now, I worked for the AFS just at the eastern gate in the mountains above Entrance, AB. Much improved management techniques has resulted in far fewer bear problems, although there was one fatality about two years ago, a typical "bliss-ninny" hippie chick; as usual, an urbanite who knew it all about nature and wouldn't listen to local professionals, ergo, CHOMP!!! The bear was shot as per Parks Canada policy.

I totally agree with STF's last two sentences, I love bears and never kill one unless absolutely necessary, which it VERY seldom is. Bears are so neat that words are inadequate to describe them, only Rottweilers are equal.
