	adn.com \| wildlife : Crimes against bears
		As the number of bears found shot to death and left to rot near Bird Creek grows, some state officials and local residents are wondering whether a vigilante has decided to solve bear problems plaguing residents of a tiny strip of development along the Seward Highway south of Anchorage.
		Alaskans can legally shoot bears in defense of life of property, but they are required to report the shootings and salvage the hides and skulls of the dead animals.
		Skinning a bear and trimming out the skull is no easy task, however; some people might be reluctant to report a shooting because of that requirement or for fear of getting in trouble, wildlife biologists said.

	Alaska Hunts! Hunting Brown Bear, Dall Sheep, Alaska Moose!
		My estimation was the bear was around 450 yards, a shot that one doesn't usually take at brown bear, but Thomas had assured me he had taken quite a few animals at this range, and the amount of time this bear would be in open sight appeared very short.
		The one thing I was sure of was the fact that Thomas had hit the bear and the bear was somewhere down in that angled mess.
		This was one of those times that an 8 ft. bear seemed a lot nicer than a 10 ft. bear, even so, the bear was a truckload to get up out of the water onto a small spit of mud where we could take photos and go to work on the hide.
