Boxcar....A Huge Grizzly

We spotted this Grizzly standing in 7 feet of water, his shoulders and head above water infront of Lodge dock 1 km east of us. He definity had our scent. His nose going back and forth collecting the scent floating across the water. After we were sure he was gone we boated over. He had left incredible footprints. This is one Big Bear. Probably 5 feet at the shoulder heigth. Side Note..... Bryan was sitting in the outhouse 2 years ago when this same Bear showed up 25 feet away.....made a big impression on Bryan then. he called him Boxcar. Didn't see him last year. This is one bear we do not want to meet on the trail.

Hind Foot

This morning we found Boxcar had visited us during the night or early morning. We found his large foot impressions 10' from our back gate and also found a place where he had bedded down. He had stayed along time here. Hopefully he will not be back tonight.
