KATMAI N.P., ALASKA - A fatal bear attack that left two people and two bears dead at Katmai National Park and Preserve. Timothy Treadwell, 46, and Amie Hugenard, 37, of Malibu, California, died in early October 2003 on a camping and bear-watching trip at a lake adjacent to Kaflia Bay, on Katmai's outer coast. One or more bears, drawn to the remote wilderness area because of salmon in the lake, mauled the travelers to death. While investigating the incident, Park Service staff, in self-defense, shot and killed two charging brown bears. Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - An Anchorage attorney and his retired schoolteacher wife, both cautious veterans of the Alaska wilderness, were identified Monday as the victims of a rare, unprovoked attack by a predatory grizzly bear in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, state and local officials said. Richard and Katherine Huffman were killed over the weekend in their tent while camping along the Hulahula River near the end of a two-week wilderness float trip by inflatable kayak. Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials who investigated the scene said the Huffmans appeared to have set up camp carefully, storing their food in bear-proof containers far from their tent. "All the indications now are it was a predatory attack. It just hardly ever happens," Fish and Game spokesman Bruce Bartley said. "Even more baffling is that these people had taken all the precautions." A gun was found in the camp, troopers said It had not been fired. |

| If you live or recreate in bear country you are bound to have an encounter with a bear. Why let that encounter be controlled by the bear? A nosy bear can cost you a lot. That once in a lift time hunt. Your expensive gear. Your very expensive bush plane or raft. Not to mention what happened to the two couples in the above articles from the Anchorage Daily News. If they would have had an electric bear fence around their camp they would most likely still be alive today. About 1 out of 10 people in Alaska have an encounter with a bear. It may have only been a brief sighting of a bear close to your camp and for the rest of the night you are waking up thinking you heard something out there and by morning your good night sleep wasn't so good. Or maybe you were flown out to a remote hunting site for a 10 day hunt and on day 3 when you were out hunting. A brownie came visiting your camp, ripped a hole in your $700 tent, drug all of your gear out ripping cloths sleeping bags and air mats. Just trying to find that candy bar wrapper you left in your pants pocket from the day before. The bear also found your food container and devoured it all. Your hunting trip is now over and your survival trip has began, until you can flag a plane down or your carrier comes to get you seven days later. Even worse you could have been in the tent when the bear came in. I hear story's like those mentioned above all the time. I ask the question again a little different. Why not control the next encounter with a bear? I've yet to meet a person that didn't worry, or at least harbor some concerns, regarding bears and bear encounters. Bears exist in nearly every corner of Alaska and the extremely rare - yet highly publicized - bear attacks remind us just how wild Alaska can be. But bears should prevent no one from being out in the wilderness. What concerns some most however, is camping. No one wants to be sound asleep in a tent when a curious bear pokes around camp. Nor is there any reason for bears to be able to approach your camp at night. Electric fencing, now lighter and more economical than ever, can dissuade curious bears from approaching your camp, thus allowing you to sleep safely and soundly. Sometimes people openly ask "are you that afraid of bears that you need a fence?" I turn the question around and ask "are you willing to allow a bear to determine when your trip is over? Because that is precisely what will happen if you camp in some areas where bear numbers are high." Bears that destroy camps and equipment aren't being aggressive. Usually they're just being bears. They ask questions with their jaws and claws. If more bear fences are used, over time this will teach bears to avoid camps and equipment all together. Bear trainers say that you don’t have to teach bears twice. This is a pro-active stance in preventing camps and equipment destruction by training bears to avoid them. A portable electric fence system (bear fence) can protect more than just your camp. How about the bush plane, power boat, 4 wheeler, rubber raft, trophy game kill site or your meat pole site. The Electro Bear Guard portable electric bear fence covers an area up to 3000 square feet (50’ x 60’). Comes in a carry bag and weighs 18 lbs.
