i have had a cabin on Bowers Lake since 78.
Travelled many miles on ATV and snowmobile. only saw black bear until 6 years ago. 5 of us saw our first grizzly on Wavey Lake Road.Then next year saw a young grizzly cross Highway 24 at lemieux creek.Their natural boundary to the north used to be canim and mahood lake.Lots of them north of that for years.I zoomed in on your picture you posted .IMHO it definitely looks like a grizzly with the distinct hump on back and longer legs. Sightings will only get more as the grizzly hunt is now over for good. Young bears will push south looking for their own territory. tk
