Have not seen a bear in camp, or in the park period. Have found scat a few times, mainly on/near portages.

My dad got hit once back in the 80s - it was on the south side of the big island in south Batchewaun bay. Cleaned them out, and crushed/put holes in a tin camp cup and bite marks in the plastic case of single burner Coleman stove we used to use. Also bit through his buddy's wallet - dad has the cup hanging on his wall, and I have the stove case. They weren't hangers, and we haven't except once on Draper, due to the morning after our first night dad swearing he saw a bear back in the woods.

After they got out of the park, they found out there was a known problem bear on that island...that was back in the days of him going and having little to no info. No checking with park office on conditions etc.
