I will try to get more details .  Sounsd like a conservation officer should investigate . We are going to contact a local hunting website to get their reaction . As you say it sounds pretty weird and that is how we feel .

 Hi ,
Several hunters in this Province find this caching of kills interesting and here is what they think.

Only in the last few years have Grizzley Bears started showing up on Vancouver Island . We have always had lots of Black Bears but seldom to never for the Grizzley .  I personally see black Bears 1 or 2 times per week but I am in the forest often with my bow and bear spray. They think that it is a Grizzley that steals the killings of the Cougar. All the bear has to do is follow the Cougar around and the Cougar knows when it has met it's match .

People in the area of this caching have seen 2 adult Cougars on several occasions as well as cougar screams around their travel trailer . A mature grizzley was spotted last year with a cub and a male has be sighted within 15 miles of this area recently . There have been 2 confirmed shooting of Grizzley in Port Hardy which is located on the north part of the island. This area is more central island.
I wonder iif anyone from Alaska or the northern part of mainland British Columbia could enlighten us a bit .

Thanks,
Winston

That is really interesting,    and quite a puzzle.

Would be amazing if the grizzly were starting to make an impact and be on the island permanently .

keep us informed,  if you learn more

 My first thought was a Grizzly. They are known for burying there kill in debris.
