Though he had bear spray, he couldn’t reach it in time. Officials say the bear was likely startled and reacted instinctively, not aggressive by nature — and it won’t be hunted. The trail, known for salmon streams and past bear incidents, remains a reminder that when you enter the wild, you’re stepping into their territory. Stay safe: if you face an aggressive animal, call Alaska wildlife troopers or your local Fish and Game office. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
