[QUOTE="Moose47, post: 2029099, member: 116196"] I live and hunt here in Alaska. Our bear problems come in a few different ways. In the spring we have the anxious hikers and bikers who insist on using the well marked trails around Anchorage with the bear activity clearly marked with no fire arms, bear spray or what ever. Then we have those that leave trash out and complain about the bears. For the most part there is no help for these groups of people. As for myself our bear activity comes around our meat pole during our Moose and Caribou hunting season, I have hunted for 40 years here in AK and we have lost 2 pieces of meat from bears in that time. The first was from our meat pole being to far away, 100 Yards and second was from a brave bear that for sure heard our snoring but came within 15 yards to take his prize. We were kind of slow learners until one of younger hunters said I can fix this. We now have a flashing lights system along with a blue tooth music system and no bears. For protection we always have a 12 gauge pump along with our 300s,338s and 375s. I also have a 10mm that keep near by, that would truly be a last resort. The best advice I can give if you live in bear country is common sense which for many just isn't there. [/QUOTE]
