Canadian couple killed by ‘desperate’ grizzly bear were highly skilled hikers who ‘took every precaution’.
A Canadian couple fatally attacked by a grizzly bear while camping were well-versed in backcountry hiking and “took every precaution” against predatory wildlife during their backcountry trips, their friends told The Post.
Jenny Gusse and Doug Inglis, both 62, and their dog Skip, were mauled to death by a bear on Sept. 29 inside Banff National Park after their bear spray failed to thwart the beast.
“I knew Doug and Jenny were planning a trip at that time of year,” longtime pal Ron Teather, 77, said in a Friday interview.
“I think it was a very desperate bear that regarded them as food. It wasn’t interested in their food cache, it was interested in them,” Teather speculated.
The friend, of Ottawa, Canada, said he went on several backcountry canoe trips with Gusse and Inglis over the last 20 years.
“Their skill level was extremely high, they were conservative. They took every precaution they possibly could,” he said.
Teather, also a scientist, said their food had been stored away from the campsite and would have been hung from a tree. In his last conversation with Inglis, his friend informed him that he had purchased “animal-proof food storage.”
“This food cache was bear-proof,” Teather said.
Another friend, 69-year-old Mark Goettel — who met Inglis at the University of Alberta where the latter was his research technician — reiterated to The Post that the couple were highly skilled and “knew exactly what they were doing.”
