Title: Bad visitor to deer camp
Post by: trophyelk6x6 on November 22, 2016, 06:01:24 PM: My father inlaw had to move camp after he and his buddy Don killed two nice bucks. This female grizz with two cubs started coming around camp each night and then wouldn't leave.
The last night my father in law stayed in the truck with a light and the horn to keep her from trying to climb the tree after the deer.

I hunted WT there with them and did well but up on the mountain hillsides the grizz tracks made me want to hunt with a partner LOL. The grizz aren't a problem like Cranbrook B.C but they are there. Their camp over the years set up the stove pipe to prevent black bears climbing the meat pole but this year the grizz were there and they didn't see any black bears.
