That area is notorious for lots of griz..I used to bowhunt there..no more..now rifle only..




2 very close and local fishing buddy friends of mine were bow hunting (long bows) a bit up North of here. Len called in 5 (YES-adults) grizzlies with his elk bugle. The bears were all milling around, within 40 yards of big Dave (about 350). both guys were in full cammo but sitting on their tree stands, feet on the ground. One of the bears walked over within 15 or 20feet of Dave, looking right into his eyes, heads on same level.
With a slight wind change, they all stood up, swaying, looking around, then dropped down onto their feet and ran off- right past Len. He said they weren't 4' from his bow tip - "could have touched them with my bow".
That was the last of their bow hunting, up Dunlevy Creek (Hudson's Hope area over toward the Peace Reach), lots of bears up there and they are not the first to be "dogged" by grizzlies or calling them in with an elk bugle.
