It’s just below 30c, with a warm westish wind that must make it over 30 for sure.
We have a Quebec chap staying with us for 3 weeks, he had opportunity to take a boat trip up to the Torngats last week, blew him away. Brought back some amazing char too.
Last evening after super he decides to take a hike up the pole line that runs up to the top of Nain hill. About 8 poles up he came across some clothing and other items plus some bear spore that gave him cause for concern. There has been a man missing for about 2 weeks, hence his concern. So after talking to my wife about his find he took them down to the RCMP.
Long story short, the remains of the missing person and cloths were found, apparently eaten by a bear, not the cloths the person. Ground search and rescue and cops are looking for the bear.
Not many people will be going into the woods behind our place for awhile I’d guess, not me for sure.
The details of what/how are still to come out.

Holy crap. Poor guy, I've been following that story and just figured he got turned around somewhere. Eight poles up is not very far.
Anyone who likes to walk those hills around town sees a bear once in a while. My wife's cousin is a bear biologist, tells me stories. It will be important to see whether this was a senile old bear, a hungry one, or a bear that was hanging around. Maybe they'll be able to figure out what kind of attack it was.
Thoughts are with his family.
