THE BEARINSTIEN BEARS COME TO TOWN!!
So I got some closer shots of a few bears for you :0) These two bears where about 100m from our Camper right down in the main car park.


This bear climbed a tree right up in the village! The police and conservation officers where trying to get it down for around 45min before they shot it with a tranq gun. I really wanted to upload the video of it falling out of the tree but after 45 min and still waiting for it to upload I think I'm going to give up....Poor little thing would have a headache after falling that far out of the tree though, it really did land with a thud and a big ooooo from the audience!

The crowds come out to watch Whistler wildlife... (we pretend we are locals until we hear things like fire crackers and bear clappers going off and then we grab our cameras and run to get a look at the action!)

They where setting off fire crackers to try and scare it down...

After shooting it with a tranq gun they carried it out...

and loaded it on the back of the truck...

Poor little mite!
