    Ralph Maughan

    Lots of grizzly bears have been killed in B.C.’s Bella Coola River valley- Six years ago Jackie and I took a special trip to Bella Coola to see bears. We did, but it was clear the locals didn’t appreciate their value. Mark Hume. In B.C.’s wilderness, where the wild things aren’t. The Globe and Mail.

  • A second story. Pheasant hunter shoots grizzly sow

    Ralph Maughan

    The 3 cubs were in good shape and couldn’t be trapped. In addition, there is yet another sow with 3 cubs in the area! Rather than some marginal glade far from grizzly country (the Eldorado Grove), this sounds like grizzly central at this time of year where the bears are fat and cubs do well.…

  • B.C. grizzly, possible predatory attack on 2 men in tent

    Ralph Maughan

Hiked 5 kilometers back to truck after attack- Two lucky hunters survived what sounds to me like a half-hearted predatory attack by a female grizzly.

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”
