Re: Bears, Bears, Bears

Most of the attacks of that sort in the Rockies are by Grizzlies, Blacks are often scarce where Grizz. population densities are high as they are PREY. You find that Blacks are more numerous further north and my ugliest experience with one was at Slave Lake in 1993, when the boywas killed and eaten. Horrible for my colleagues who had to deal with it and when I spoke with them, a couple weeks later, they were pretty upset.

Please post these websites you mention as I may know or have friends who know the researchers concerned. I had an excellent old gab with John Merriman after you used his research, we have a number of former colleagues and buddies in common; he very kindly sent me a copy of his un-published paper that you posted on. Funny, among the working bush people in western Canada, the community is quite small and folks often send me research results and also their contact info. to call.

So, where was ...back in the woods..., Central Park, didn't know there WERE Grizzlies there!
