[QUOTE="Salmonchaser, post: 1565649, member: 107697"] DLP, Defense of life and property shootings are pretty common. In my opinion AST are pretty generous when it comes to the property prong. You can do everything wrong around your property, create a no win situation for a bear, kill the bear and nobody seems to care. So, in Alaska, outside the national parks and refuges as long as your account was reasonable you're golden. I wouldn't want to have to shoot one inside the National Park. Given the park rangers will cite a guide for throwing rocks at a pushy bear, I wouldn't want to have to articulate why I shot one. One of the reasons I have kept a log book regarding our close encounters. 20 years of data tells me I can be certain of only two things; I'll be within 50 yards of no less then 100 bears over the summer; I will never assume I know what the **** bears will do. One more; bears are smart but they don't respond to warning shots as anything more then a loud scary noise. Save your ammo, Cary a good old fashion Acme Thunderer whistle. They really seem to dislike a long blast. [/QUOTE]
