Bears on the Loose in Alaska | Anchorage News

Bears are back and biting—this past Saturday, a hiker in Anchorage’s Bear Valley was mauled and needed rescue by firefighters. It’s not the first scare this season: a woman on the Kenai Peninsula shot a mother bear with cubs right on her front deck, a mountain biker survived a Dome Trail attack, and even soldiers were injured by a bear near its den in April. Stay alert—when you’re in bear country, these encounters can happen fast and without warning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
