As I posted, the incidence of attacks has greatly increased during the past decade and it seems that the original poster was concerned about an area in Alberta where I worked for the government department which manages wildlife, forests, etc. So, with that direct experience, my opinions may have some validity that is lacking among Harvard graduates, for example.

Among the tree-planters, etc., whom I supervised and taught bear safety to, long ago, were quite a number of graduates from prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale,Stanford and UCLA.

Their bear knowledge was/is minimal, although some thought themselves true experts, after reading Bradford Angier, another self-touted expert on BC and the north.

What we know here is that BC universities and colleges as I posted are certainly NOT Harvard, the level of bear knowledge here is FAR higher, there is simply no comparison between an eastern American urbanite and working professionals in BC-AB.

I completely understand Bill's point and I suspect most here do, but, why don't you give us your opinion based on your actual experience with Grizzlies in the area under discussion. I am sure that we all can learn a great deal from your "expertise" as we always do here.
