makes me just shake my head ! > many times people that are attacked by a bear its their own fault , i have had black bears around my home , grizzly and black bears at camps ,black bears at deer stands ,bear baits, dumps , many times all my life . some people are just idiots around bear areas and bears in camp or in the wild.
Fairly "arrogant" and condescending........I notice that you appear to have very little experience with bears attacking your tent with you inside the tent. It is stimulating experience. Any experience with having (7) Seven Alaska Coastal Brown Bears in your camp at the same time, and after five hours of constantly chasing them out of camp on dark rainy night, say "Screw-it".
as far as you bragging about bears at your camp site in the rain sounds like you don`t have much experience on how to pick a decent camp site,\ or how to set up so bears don`t bother you. maybe some of these Alaskan guides on here can help you with tips on how to pick and set up a camp site in bear country. good luck >> P.S. hope these guides can help you out with some bear safety tips,Pete53
I am always interested in learning, so I look forward to any guidance. However you might not be aware that when you get dropped of in the Alaska wilderness, on a remote lake on the Alaska Peninsula. With a camp and equipment to guide (5) Five hunters, you are deposited with a hell of a lot of tents and equipment. And for the record I was at the time working for a Alaska Registered Guide. And I was also a Alaska Registered Guide, with at that point about 40 years experience. Sometimes there are very few options for a camp, and generally we use and reuse locations we have experience with........especially the game in that area.
But....Yes, after those five moose hunters, and the "so'called" Assistant guide were flown out. I did move what I needed from that camp over to "Battle Lake"........to finish up the 86 day "Fall" season guiding Brown Bear hunters. There were far more Brown Bears there at Battle Lake.....but they were pleasant to live with.
