But might check out a spot in the lower mainland for a brute we've seen(me,dad,neighbor, his son) He's 6ft for sure and is huge. But he's about a days hike back into the woods, gotta take all the meat out! >:( All so i cant eat the meat and just get the hide. >:(

last year a CO told us there was a 900lb griz up there and I have personally seen prints in some back channels that are way larger than any 300lber would make. Time to bring out the spray!

Post by: coryandtrevor on April 11, 2008, 01:14:02 PM: According to some locals and CO's there are more griz than one would think up the Ashlu/Squamish river valley.One guy said about 10 - 15 of em. They migrate in and out yearly.

Ive seen some dinner plate sized paw prints up there as well :o

Post by: huntwriter on April 20, 2008, 05:40:15 PM: Region 3 is still to cold for the bears to come out. I won’t start looking for them until mid May. ;)

Post by: BCHunter on April 22, 2008, 02:30:12 PM: Ive heard of a few being seen, my buddy in kamloops has seen zero...although i read online of a nice brown bear killed in region 3, I heard through the grape vine it was in Cache Creek. And one seen in Chehalis Lake area.

With todays weather im itching to get out...

I'm heading to the Nathatlatch lake this coming weekend to take a look...leaving ealry Sat and coming home Sun.
