They’re attracted by trash cans - but because they’re protected, they’re no longer scared off by people with guns. Start killing them again and they’ll back off.

But wait! The anti-everything econuts are telling me the bears are going extinct! They would never lie, would they??
To: george76
Some who have been hiking, running and mountain biking in the park and the adjacent Chugach State Park for decades say they see more bears and more bear sign than ever before. But, but, uhh, global warming, right? They just put polars on the endangered species list, right? Wadda bout that photo of the drowning bear?
Wadda ya mean there are twice as many polar bears as there were in 1970?

I did not know black bear lived in alaska. I thought black and brown bear territories did not overlap. Black bear in the south, brown in the north.
I guess you learn something new everyday.
To: george76
Who would have thought Alaska and New Jersey would have something in common.
The only difference is that our state government is going to wait until they're scooping kids out of carriages before they implement a rational bear management policy.
Right now, hunting is forbidden and the government wants to focus on birth control, but according to the state biologists, they're having trouble teaching the bears to put the condoms on.

Teach them to run an oil rig and send them to ANWR.

When the animals reach the point they’re maiming and killing the people where they live it’s time to start thinning the animals.

Alaska isn’t the only place! Friends of ours about 5 mi from her have found very large tracks in their yard that look like bear tracks. So far they haven’t seen anything but are now making sure they are armed when out in the field. This is SE Ohio and not something we normally see!
To: george76
Have a small pitchfork. Perhaps an upgrade to a long-handle pitchfork would be prudent.

I heard Bear roast is very good sounds like there is an overabundance of good food running around.

Makes one wonder about the ancient Native American prophecy about the 'end times' - of the status quo and return of the Indians former stature - the sign being "when the animals come back"
