Casper has a cub!
Casper, the beautiful, blonde starlet of my interior BC grizzly bear photo tours for the past seven years and of Chapter 8 of my latest book, Tall Tales, Long Lenses, showed up on the river this past September with her first ever cub! Last year she was completely absent from the river and we all feared she had been killed in the forest fires that ravaged BC last summer, or worse, had been shot as a trophy in the final season of the BC grizzly hunt last fall. But fear not, not only did she show up again this year, but she had a little bundle of joy tagging along behind her every step of the way!
The photo tour this year also featured the first major snowfall I’ve ever witnessed at our secret location: we had seventeen inches over the course of three days, leading to some pretty cool shots of bears in the snow.
Of course, if you’ve been following me on Facebook or Instagram or even Twitter, you’ve likely seen a few of these already, so stay tuned next post for some all-new images that no one has seen yet (not even my wife)!
Will trophy hunting grizzlies make the wilds safer?
For those of you that like to keep up-to-date on conservation issues related to bears in the U.S. and Canada (and beyond), this is an interesting take on whether or not trophy hunting grizzlies will make the wilderness safer for all of us, written by an avid outdoorsman and hunter from Montana, David Stalling. Well worth the read.
