Neets Bay: Land of Bears

Neets Bay, on Revillagigedo Island north of Ketchikan, Alaska, is the land of bears. In fact, it's the place where an Alaska tourist has the best chance of seeing bears; not one, not two but perhaps dozens at a time. It's such a show that tourists flock to the bay to watch the action from about July 25 through early September. What do they get for their time and effort? During an hour visit, most groups see 8 to 10 bears feeding on the river at any given time. Several years ago, 51 bears were counted during a group visit. So, if bear viewing is your cup of tea, you can't beat Neets Bay. This vignette from John Sabella's documentary Neets Bay: An Alaska Salmon Ranch, will give you a taste of what there is to see.
