For Bears
Regarding the “Jungle Book” item in the News and Briefs column (Jan. 5):
In a letter that appeared in the Feb. 1992 issue of Outdoor Photographer, Galen Rowell writes of Alaskan brown bears being hunted in the areas of the Chenik Brown Bear Photography Camp and the nearby McNeil River. These bears are habituated to photographers and “eco-tourists” and their value alive surely exceeds their worth dead. The Alaska Board of Game should wise up.
