Dec 6th Bear Tracks
I saw bear tracks today at 4040ft or 1231m leading more or less uphill. North slope. Not a big bear, not a little bear.,.. smaller side of average black bear.What up with that?

I have seen the odd bear up and moving about mid-November but have never seen one out this late before.
With that said I also have never seen our lake with open water this time of year but there still is a big wet patch in the middle of the North end.  Also, the weather forecast is for rain in the North Cariboo tomorrow afternoon!

such nice clear tracks in the snowfall I thought for sure I would spot him, spent five hours in the area walking around but couldn't find him. Maybe tomorrow.

I was just working on the World Cup Ski races in Lake Louise.....temps ranging from -5 to -25 depending on the time of the day. We had a young grizz that chewed up some of the timing equipment/power equipment a week ago this past Saturday. I think he may have missed the "hibernation" memo.
 That would have been at about ~6000 ft.

IMO, the tracks you saw were those of a young grizzly. He may have just re-surfaced for a walkabout after a short nap, or he maybe looking for a quality meal before heading to lala land for a while. Grizz have different sleep patterns than black. Blacks like to hit the sack early and stay there late, grizz on the other hand like to go to bed late, get up a couple of times for a whiz and then rise early. Young grizz will not have the developed claws like an older bear and could be easily mistaken for a black.

It shows how the bear uses his nose more than his eyes. He looked right up at the camera man, but it still didn't register it was a human standing there. I would have thought human scent may be enough to scare a bear away, but in this case I guess it was just plain curious. Nice looking coat on that blacky.
