Reminds me of the immortal scene in the movie "Jeremiah Johnson" where the old trapper asks Johnson "Pilgrim, can you skin griz?" 😳

He's got a nice smile.  Such cool animals.

the reason you aren't seeing the black bears is because the grizzlies here are killing them.

Aww, that’s comforting to know  😳

 

Now, to prepare for my adventure into the American wilderness, I’ll just need a tiny little can of pepper spray and some tiny little bells on my shoes.  Correct?

And how do I know I’m in bear country? 🤔

[Jim McCulloch]

Easy. Piles of grizzly dung will smell like pepper spray.

And have bells in them.  C’mon Jim, I set it up for you  🤣

One of my favourite jokes, that I first heard on DP forum.

There is a pic from the front of the shed and a pic from the back. That suggests the photographer went around to the back of the shed to get a pic of the sleeping bear, assuming that's the order they were taken.  Hopefully they had a tank to drive around to get these. 

[Goldseeker5000]

Yep she was killed and partially eaten.

He probably had game cameras set around the area. It looked like the bear liked going to that shed to use it as a scratching post and a chew toy, so the home owners probably set cameras up.

Great point. Game cam > tank!
