Nick de Ruyter from WildSmart stopped by to chat about some of the big local wildlife stories from the past couple of weeks.  We discussed how bear spray saved the day in at least two aggressive defensive bear encounters this year, the importance of removing fruit and berries from your property and how WildSmart has tools to help you out.  We also talk about the sentiment among some that calling in bear sightings in neighbourhoods is a bad idea.

You can report a bear in Canmore/Kananaskis/MD of Bighorn by calling 403-591-7755. In Banff the number to call is 403-762-1470.
