A southern Alberta father is still on edge three days after an aggressive encounter with three grizzly bears in the family’s rural backyard.
“We were laying on the horn to get them out of the yard because I don’t want grizzly bears in the yard,” Keith Lang told CBC News Sunday.
“There was no fear in those bears.”
The Thursday evening encounter took place on his property near Pincher Creek, a town about 200 kilometres south of Calgary.
“I was out in the field doing some fencing and I came back to the yard in the truck at about 6:30 p.m. I turned on the water to fill a trough for some cattle and horses and, when I did so, I looked down the laneway from the house and I saw three grizzlies coming,” Lang said.
“I didn’t think much of it. I figured they would make a wide berth around the place.”
The bears had other ideas.
