I lived in Alaska for last 28+ years, and of course around fishing time is when the hungry bears come
out to fish also. They will be seen along every stream and river (even in town) in Alaska this time
of year, so if you are in that area make sure you know how to deal with them, if you should
encounter one.

I have seen quite a few bears in my time but, don’t have any scary encounters with brown/grizzly
bears, had to scare of few black bears out of our campsite but that was it.

In Alaska the bears are very active right now so i thought I would share a few things with you all.
