You need to go north of Cape Caution to find any Grizzlies,

Just to add to what Marin posted - Grizzlies are found at the heads of all major mainland inlets north of Vancouver. *Very rare to see one around at the head of Howe Sound, but it does happen. There was one spotted near Squamish in 2007.

How can you tell if a bear approaching you is a black or a grizzly? - Climb a tree. If it climbs the tree after you, it's a black bear. If it stops and rips the tree out by the roots it's a grizzly.

How can you distinguish between black and grizzly scats? - Black bear scats will be composed mostly of vegetable matter - mainly fibrous roots and berries in season. Grizzly scats will have bear bells embedded in them.

Sorry, biologist humour....

I live in Florida and mu CWP provides for reciprocal agreements with 37 other States. The list is available on MYFLORIDA>COM. I have often taken weapons into Bahamas without any problem, all they want you to do is declare the number of rounds you brought and make sure it's the same number you leave with.
