Cool pics! Have found caches like that before. Eerily cool finds but yep, put some distance between you and the area. Lots of griz around Alberta now. They do keep you focused on your surroundings.
I'll be out hunting grouse in the Foothills west of Rocky Mountain House week after next.
Just me, my Beretta Silver Pigeon 20g and a can or two of bear spray.....gotta be well seasoned. Hope I have time to hit the SOS on my Garmin so they can find my carcass.
A few years ago, my hunting partner lost a nice White tail buck to a big griz North of Hinton Alberta. We got to it just after the bear laid claim to it not 5 mins after he shot it. Happens fast!
Head is always on the swivel out there.
