Am I right in guessing no bear hunting in the refuge?

Yup.

They want to save them so the campers can view them.........real close view them.....look down their throat and smell their breath "close" view them.

The good news for management is..........that their plan is working.

I remember when Fish & Game said there were very few Brown Bears on the Kenai Peninsula. And that was why there needed to be zero Brown Bear hunting there. Then after repeated mauling's, and vehicles killing Brown Bears, They reluctantly agreed to do a survey. It took several years, and they concluded there was "Well" less then 400 total Brown Bears on the entire Kenai Peninsula. I think there are 400 in the general Hope/Sunrise, Alaska area alone.

No baiting for brown bears in the refuge, but you can kill one in it.

I think where I live there should be a "bounty" on bears. Open year around......no limit.

These guys were in the Skilak Loop Wildlife Management Area and it is only opened to small game hunting with bow and arrow or falconry, and moose by permit only.

I stand corrected. I just read the question about brown bear hunting in the refuge in general, but forgot about skilak.
