Yep looks like they feed the young tender ones to the bears to keep them happy. I'm sure the bears like the arrangement.

In Barrow, Ak, the Ipalook Elementary Scholl had a 7 foot chain link fence with conertina wire at the top to keep the “children/morsels” safe. 5 hrs before I arrived the Native Wildlife officers killed a young male Polar Bear. The first two days he showed up they drove him off with rubber bullets(Remington 870 12 ga), the third day the bear roared and attacked! The Wildlife Officers switched to lead slugs, and the bear became part of the Natives seasonal harvest. I am glad I live in America!

I'll take time to read the article when I can get more time to just sit and read..
Gramps... if that had been Anchorage, they would have vacated the school and the surrounding area and let the bears have it... After all.. they were here first... Just like the homeless......

I just saw an ad for a Ruger Gunsite Scout in 450 Bushmaster. Handy and easy to manage with a big fat bullet.
