Sad story, but not at all unexpected. They call wild animals wild for a reason.

I have a friend who has been mauled twice in his life; worked many years as a guide. He has scars from his neck down to his ankles. I've been in bars and witnessed him taking his shirt off and dropping his pants to show everybody what a bear can easily do. Now this guy shoots every bear he sees, hates bear like nobody I've ever known.

I have a couple spring bear bait barrels & stands; if we don't kill 5-10 bear every Spring; they become problems around the house. Bear can sense when you ain't home, away for a few days shopping; that's when they break in.

Here along the Yukon, all bear are considered dangerous pests, to be shot on sight.
