It's been nearly two decades since I set out to become a bear guide in the wilds of Canada. For a child of the English Home Counties who thought that living in nature meant navigating hedgerows, watching squirrels, and drinking half pints of lemonade shandy in a country pub, it was quite a departure.
I will never forget Apple. What a sweet bear she was. I think she was my first grizzly encounter which encouraged more trips to the wilderness. Since then I've had several close visits with bears, none of whom were aggressive, but I always give them the berth and respect that is proper. Another outcome of visiting Grizzly Bear Ranch was cultivating our steadfast friendship with Jules and Tim Dawson, with whom we still travel when time allows. Thank you for stirring those fond memories of our adventures at your ranch.
I’m proud to say we were among the many that had the pleasure and excitement to stay at your lodge.
Our first visit revealed not one single bear, but we returned the following fall to experience over thirty bears. I too have a picture of Apple and her cub on my den wall.

Thank you Julius for an experience I will never forget.
