I think Alberta is the only other province with a population, as well as the Yukon Territory, and possibly the northern stretches of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. I found this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberta actually just brought it back a couple days ago... sort of... after an 18 year hiatus. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/alberta-grizzly-bear-hunt-to-resume These siblings were on my road, a mile or two from home, a couple weeks ago. They're sometimes around, and I've seen some sign, but this is the first time I've actually ever seen them in this area.

For now, I save my projects and rent one for a week every year or two. I bought a Norwood 36 bandsaw mill last year. Embarrassed to say I haven't finished setting it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWexplorer Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I spent last week on vacation in Rockaway Beach Oregon. I drove over from Eastern Washington and was blown away by just how thick the forest was there! There is no way you could spot a Bigfoot in the forest there. One could be 8' from you and you wouldn't see it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC witness Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 That's very much like my area, the SW coast of BC, which is "temperate rainforest", with emphasis on the "rain". When I took out a recent visitor to the Sasquatch Shindig outing near Harrison back in early August for a tour through our research area, she repeatedly remarked on how dense the forest and the underbrush were, and that anything 3 steps off the trail would be invisible. I had her worried that I'd driven off the trail, as she couldn't see the track I was following in the Hummer due to the overhanging brush. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntster Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Is it in the keeper slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC witness Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 When we had a "keeper slot" here in BC, it was between 1m and 2m, and I only ever caught 1 that met that, at just over 1m. I caught lots below the minimum, and hooked 1 over the maximum, but wasn't able to land it. There hasn't been anything but catch and release here for almost 20 years now. What are the regs in Wa. and Ak.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
