Okay, I appologize for the wolf picture, that was out of line and offensive, I recognize that and appologize to those who were offended.
But the bear? People hunt. It happens.
Its just a good thing I didn't post the pictures of my buddy who was mauled by a bear that size, those would have been worse than the wolf pictures.
Again, I am sorry to have offended anyone, it was not my intention.
No the bear wasn't sleeping.
I, above any "city slickers", appreciate the wild world around me, and to each animal its own, but as far as I am concerned if I never see another bear in my life, so much the better. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to have an open season on all of them.
If you don't live around them then you don't understand what a menace they can be, not just to humans, but, also to the wildlife around them.
Just last year I came across a moose carcass killed by a bear.
Looked to me like the bear had a quick snack and left the rest of the 800 pounds of meat to waste.
Again, I am sorry to have posted that picture. I guess I have to stop and realize sometimes those on this forum cant relate to being in the middle of the wilderness.
Alaska is really the "Last Frontier".
I hope all of you have a chance to visit and awe in its majesty.
P.S. I had -44f on the ole thermometer week before last! That my friends is the perfect temperature to make ice wine.
