Wolves or Bears. My experience working on the out outskirts of Anchorage for 45 years I have noticed an increase of bears when wolf deprivation operations are conducted and the opposite when  bears are targeted. people fail to realize that urban sprawl is a huge detriment to wildlife here in the Bowl, Garbage is a primary factor in drawing Bears into town yet many people fail out of laziness or shear disregard for their s and other peoples safety to dispose of garbage in a way the Bears cant get to it.. I have  come face to face with Grizzly's, Black bears  and wolf packs on almost a daily occurrence  and have never allowed them to attack me by simply standing my GROUND I don't carry a firearm because my work rules don't allow it . I will say on the other hand  When encountering a Cow Moose with Calf-s in tow its best to move away.  Simple rules of the Bush but some times hard to fallow. Keep your head never panic your mind is your greatest weapon!
