Found this on Youtube today, wanted to share it here since I know we have members who live in Alaska and can confirm rather this is a large bear or just average!  I really enjoy these types of videos, since where I live we also have bears but they are a much smaller species (American Black Bear) than what you guys in Alaska have! Enjoy!

Yeah that Brownie is pretty big alright, and well fed from eating salmon by the looks of it, Brownies are coastal and can get bigger than the inland Grizzlies because of gorging themselves on Salmon ,although they both can get pretty huge, there have been some taken that were close to 12 ft from nose to tail and can have a skull over 30 inches wide.
Here is a link to the Katmai National Park website. http://www.katmailand.com/bear-viewing/about-bears.html I have never seen one as big as a 10 or 12 foot monster but I was visited by a pretty good sized brownie at another cabin I used to live at here on Big Lake, I dont know how tall he was or how much he weighed but I can tell you when he looked at me through a four foot window his head took up more than half of the width of the pane. After I thought he had left , I went outside to go to our outhouse and he came from behind our cabin and was actually between me and the cabin , fortunately he ran up the hill and thats when he climbed into my pickup truck bed and started kind of bouncing by rearing up and then coming down hard and pushing with his front paws. I scared him off with a few bottle rockets and made a trip to the dump to get rid of some garbage we had in a bin outside in hopes that he wouldnt come back. He visited us one more time durring the night and there were some pretty huge muddy paw prints on my deck the next morning and after that we didn't see him again. Although we did hear from some other people living on the lake of some other close encounters. In the end he must have just moved on , I never heard of anyone shooting him or anyone that was attacked although he did give some people a good scare.

QUOTE (AK Rich @ Mar 3 2013, 09:19 PM)  Broke into the house, yikes!  That reminds me , there is a lodge at Hatcher pass close to here, and a couple years back a bear broke into the bar and was drinking all the beer, sadly that one had to be put down.Yeah that kind of stuff happens here with black bears. This video was shot in Massachusetts, but we have the same kind of bear where I live. The larger one would be considered slightly above average size and this is when they are usually seen, namely raiding peoples birdfeeders! -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

QUOTE (AK Rich @ Mar 5 2013, 06:32 PM) the bears that enter the city and become unafraid of people and are raiding garbage and the like , what you have described is exactly what happens , the animals are tranquilized and relocated. Yeah this is what they do here as well, relocation. On a lighter note, this one of my favorite commercials...... And I also like this one....... -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat
