A cousin moved to Alaska years ago.. A grizzly chased her in the yard until she climbed on top of roof with ladder. Her husband arrived hours later and the bear was still there. It charged him and he shot it as it charged. (Sorry family legend did not include gun specs).
Authorities were called to report the bear kill. Turned out that this happened to be in the window of bear season. If the shooting was self defense, there would be no legal issues but the state would take the carcass. By paying the fine for “hunting without license, they could keep the meat.
All the neighbors chipped in and paid the penalty and had a huge BBQ.
Great story. I heard that bear meat wasn’t that bad.
That is a bunch of crap that your cousin had to pay a fine for killing a charging grizzly. I am sure that “Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up” certainly applies to Alaska.
