12-13 trips in Quetico, have never seen a bear, except maybe one (a dark shape across North Bay that didn't quite saunter like a moose) back in the mid-90s. Trip friend of mine has been almost every year since the mid-70s, again all in Quetico, and has seen but one or two, from far away.

still, we do keep a clean camp and are watchful (tho we've gotten lazy and rarely hang our food packs, instead wrapping in sealed plastic bags, then in Tupperware and tightly strapped canvas packs under the canoes).

But on a trip I didn't go (had a newborn), the group came across a mauled but still alive moose calf standing in a pond one year, bawling for help. they took pics and scrambled.
