BRADLEY.....OTHERS,
SOUND WISEDOM!!!!! I prefer to leave Bears to their own things. I go out of my way to avoid them ( if you really want to know, I'm more freaked out by Mountian Lions than Bears....) but i still go out of my way to avoid confrontation with them as much as possible. Last thimg I'd want to do is kill one... I'm trespassing , not them... Sound wisedom BRADLEY!!!!!

i lived in thew alaska bush for 9 years
my cabin was amile off the road and next to salmon
stream i almost religiously carried a 12 guage pump
ive seen lots of bears never have i been threatend by
them, only once was i caught in the bush without my
gun and i was the closest i have ever been to a bear
he was only ten yards away and busy eating blueberrys
i cautiously walked back to where i came from watching
the grizz the whole time. i was scared no doubt but if
one doesnt pose a threat to a bear and leave them be
you shouldnt have a problem, as to your protection the
best thing is common sense. talk out loud when in bear
country, give them the right of way, dont cook or eat
in a tent, keep camp site clean and free of food,
dont run they will chase you, they are much faster,
in quebec this spring i killed a black bear with a
bow and arrow at 12 yards kill zone is small on a bear
but if you hit him in the vitals they will only go 30
yards and die quickly any where else you are in
trouble
if a bear is charging and you have no firearm remain
still chances are he will bluff.if he attacks assume a
fetal position cover neck and try not to resist ,
easier said then done but it will help you,
you shouldnt be afraid of the bears they do need to be
respected though give them plenty of room dont crowd
them just let them be,just be sensible enjoy the beuty
of alaska check with canada on transporting both
pepper spray and firearms remember they dont allow
hand guns in the country so you must ship them to a
dealer in alaska,
i hope this helps
i will be there aug 8 fishing for salmon and grayling
i guess i have said enough
have fun be wise and tight lines
