It's not early tho - some south slope Brooks Range bears are already out most likely. They have been in past years when we were living in Kotzebue. Edit to add - and this year was warmer. People going thru spring ice left and right. 5 in Bethel area so far, 3 recently in Noatak. Dead. So I'm certain bears are out also. Last edited by las; 04/18/19.

I remember back in the 60's, a friend and I took two girls that were working working at Fishing Bridge to the West Yellowstone dump to see the Grizzlies. Boy were we impressed! Those buggers came in to the dump and the Coyotes and the Black Bears took off running. One walked right next to the car and had to look down to see in the window of our 1958 Bel Air. It was not long after that the dumps were moved or made bear proof. I think shrapnel can come up with the dates. It was 1966 when we went there. Now back to the monster pictured..

Ted Ted I mostly agree with you, but I have seen many circumstances where spring brown bears had opportunity to eat meat and passed. In fall they will eat their own kind immediately but not so much in the spring. They seem to want to run some grass through to restart the processing properly.

We have had more on the west side of the valley the last five years. There was more than few sightings around Marion last year and also around blacktail. I’ve only been lucky enough to see them around the park and north fork. "Life is tough, even tougher if your stupid" John Wayne

When I lived in AK, the sight of a big brownie (no black bears on Kodiak) caused a bit of concern. but let that bear go into the alder brush, out of sight, and I was BIG TIME concerned.
