Kodiak Brown Bear




This is the Kodiak Bear taken by a friend of a friend, shot on the 25th of October on Kodiak Island. Two days later, another Kodiak brown bear mauled a man who had flown in from Montana for a hunt. He had shot a deer on Kodiak Island and was dragging it back to camp when the bear attacked (then took his deer). They say that these bear, the largest type of brown bear, have learned to listen for a gunshot and then they come looking to steal the kill. It took two days for help to arrive to get the man off the Island, but they said he would make it.
