Moses, thanks for posting that picture. Still, there will be those thoroughly convinced that these mighty creatures have it out for human kind. Many will never understand the natural cycles of life which is what life is really all about in my opinion. I would also add that mere weeks earlier prior to the salmon this isn't something I would recommend.
And for anyone interested in knowing, the Gull Rock Trail south of Hope and the Resurrection Pass are great travel destination for anyone interested in visiting Alaska's back country. Is it important to be bear savy? Of course it is and that's why you rarely hear of bear-human contact in these areas. Still, it doesn't hurt to carry a Mossberg Cruiser just in case.
