    Smart to give a snack to the fox because he may give a yip if a bear sneaks up on your camp. Although you risk him ripping a hole in your tent looking for food. I guess it's all a trade off.

    They are using today’s resource and technology’s to get the job done. Should they trudge through bear country risking their life walking up on one? Also should they be using primitive weapons? Come on man, get real. These guys pay good money to the locals there to take them hunt and invest money in the local economy. Also wild animals need management that’s where a limited amount of hunters are able to come in.

    Alaskan native and grew up on Kodiak Island, me and the people I ran with (both native and white) never got a hard-on to go kill one of these magnificent animals for sport (nor to eat either). Some killed for necessity because the bears would hang around their property. After 30 years of fighting mother nature in the Bering Sea and 10 in Prudhoe Bay OIL patch (-40 temps)....I had too much heart and not enough testosterone to go kill a bear to wall hang and gloat.

    Very entertaining, thank you and congrats on a nice bear! You guys sure got excited seeing that bathroom after 11 days. Me, I’d rather sh!t outside and have someone dump warm water over my head than use a stinky grungy bathroom. My record is 47 days in AK without running water, didn’t bother me a bit. The bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi)population on kodiak is the healthiest it’s ever been, thanks to hunters and their conservation $$. There been no significant population decline since wildlife managers and biologists have been allowed to manage them. Your bear wasn’t huge and old, but it’s vacancy will now be filled by another bear. There were actually fewer Kodiak bears in the 50’s and 60’s than there are now. The meat from these bears does get consumed, either by animals or I have gifted bear meat to people in closer villages who wanted it. I’ve never eaten it myself, I’m told it tastes sour. Thanks to professional wildlife biologists, wildlife managers, hunters and their conservation dollars, Kodiak bear populations are very healthy, and they should remain so if the professionals are allowed to do their work unimpeded by emotionaly-driven judges/residents/ anti-hunters.

    An over population of bears results in a danger to to the residents. . As it is now, we occasionally have one wander into an occupied house. I had a sow and two cubs in my front yard last summer. The "beautiful animal" will kill and eat a sow's cubs in order to mate with the sow. Happens every Spring here one Kodiak.
