Hunter shoots charging grizzly in Montana

[z987k]

In Alaska typically what happens is the carcass is left in the field and the hide, head, and feet are surrendered to fish and game. The tanned hide usually goes up for auction at the Fur Rondy winter festival that takes place in late Feb. every year in Anchorage.

Most places people DLP a bear(14A, B, 16, 20), they don't really need to turn it in unless the season isn't open.

What I’m saying is, I think there’s an inverse relationship between the amount of time a person spends around bears and the amount of time person spends obsessively worrying about bears.

This is completely correct.

I’d even venture to guess that most DLP bears up here don’t even get turned in. I have nothing to base that on, but I have heard a few stories.

Ok, Timothy Tredwell...

I’m not Timothy Treadwell, but I am friends with the guy who found him, for whatever that’s worth.

If the season is open, and it's not a DB or RB area, there are no harvest tickets for Brown bears, and you didn't fly that day, then it's not DLP. It's a legal kill. I'd say the vast majority of defensive kills meet that criteria due to the areas people and bears most commonly interact.
