The DNR refuses to believe

Exactly the reason I didn't bother reporting the Grey Wolf who ran by me while I was deer hunting in Missaukee County.

I shot at a small blk bear today, running at 250-300 yards; missed of course, but woke me up and give everybody a grin. Subsistence caribou here in interior Alaska right now. Have passed on a couple year and a half bulls, waiting for the 3 year old.

Twice I have had blk bear come crawling in on me, front quarters down, butt up in air; like cat on a rabbit in cut hay field. Bear's ears going back and forth like crazy and bear coming in real slow. Actually quite common if yu live around bears that haven't seen people.

Blk bear 230 lber killed a man up George's Lake a couple months back. Bit his head off and started eating the poor soul. They finally shot the bear and found man's body parts in stomach.

We pretty much shoot at every bear we see, just dangerous pests. We can also now legally shoot grizz that come into our blk bear bait stations; and they do come in; great living in a red state.

Wolves are that far south? I know they are all over the UP, but never noticed any south of the bridge.
