A friend was fishing out of Klickitat a couple years ago and an earlier visitor to the same area had shot a grizzly after claiming it had attacked him. Since he had no visible injuries, he was placed under administrative arrest while the authorities investigated. Finally, experts analyzed the bear's tracks and determined it had been in an 'aggressive posture' before the attack, whatever that means. Apparently the guy was finally released to go home, but a week or two after his intended departure date. My friend only half jokes that if you shoot an Alaskan bear, plan on entering your severed arm or leg as evidence in court to prove it was in self-defense. Kent Lufkin
