Default bear attack in Alaska

Cut "to the chase" for my email address.


There is another reason to doubt the truthfulness of picture #3. Alaskan
Browns have this funny habit of burying their kills for a few days to
ferment the meat and then circling around their territory and coming back
3-4 days later after it's cooked to taste. ( See Bear Spray recipe.) I have
run across numerous mounds over the years with moose calves and smaller
adult moose in them.

This hiker actually looks more like what would be expcted of a wolf attack,
(not to cross threads here), or immature brown, unless the photo was taken
after rescuers began to prepare him for removal.
