So far in almost 20 years of travel in the Canadian bush the bear seem to be timid and quickly vacate the area when we are around. We have attributed this to the fact that most of our trips have been in lightly traveled areas so they are not habituated to humans.
When I first met Clem Quenville of Armstrong ON in September 2007 I noted we had not seen any bear. He started pointing out the bear scat on the logging road he was shuttling us out on. And last year we made a fairly long portage on a long abandoned road east of Savant Lake and on the way in saw no scat but a week later the same road had numerous piles on the way out. They are definitely out there.
