Wildlife expert infuriated by coverage of hiker s grizzly encounter

  LETHBRIDGE A wildlife and conservation expert said it’s unlikely that a hiker who was rescued following a grizzly bear encounter at Waterton Lakes National Park was ever in danger, and over-reacted out of his own fear. Former Banff Park Superintendent Kevin Van Tighem said he was also bothered by sensationalized coverage of the bear encounter. That really triggered me, added Van Tighem. Eric Macapus was hiking in the Mount Crandell area of Waterton Saturday when he came across a female grizzly bear and its cub. I hear a growl in my back, like what is that? According to Macapus the bears were about 12 meters away when he first saw them, and the cub began following him up the mountain. He said he scrambled to the summit, twisting his ankle in the process.

  LETHBRIDGE Eric Macapus has been an avid hiker in Alberta and BC since 2010. He s enjoyed every hike he s ever done… until Saturday that is. After a planned hike in Kananaskis Country was cancelled, he decided to summit Mount Crandell in Waterton alone. However, when he was over halfway through the trek, Macapus gained some unwanted companions. When I was about three-point-five kilometers away from the true summit, I hear a growl in my back and was like, What is that? , he said. When I turned my head back, boom, just 12 meters away from my back the grizzly momma and the cub were following me. The moment I saw them, I said, holy smoke, I will die.
