There is lots of animals in the high country at island lake , but have you ever saw elk down low in the last 5 years. Or a Grizzly. Some animals don’t mind people, like I said. Black Bears, Mule Deer, White Tail Deer. But cougers, Grizzly, Elk readily avoid people. And they will adjust they routine to avoid people. They will choose different feeding and bedding grounds. And there is no food where the old growth forest is at Island lake lodge. Thats why the Elk use the Avalanche Chutes. And the Grizzly depend on the clearings also. If you hike up into the Avalanche above Island Lake…thats where all the animals are… The Black Bears are down bellow eating the garbage for the lodge and Fernie Mt. Park. And Moose in indian means “twig eater”. They can stay down bellow and surrvive. Eating mostly woody foods. All the good Moose are up high though.. Griz-Boy…tell me….do you eat meat….?? Do you enjoy letting other people kill the animals you eat.??.
