I got my ass chewed my first year working in alaska by a ak trooper (also a c/o) for hiking fishing a river during a salmon run with my dog...never gave it thought until I stumbled across this trooper back in the bush country,he said while your focusing on fishing your dog is up river being a dog,snooping around,next thing ya know he bumps a grizz also fishing,guess what happens next,bear chasses your dog,your dog run's back to you,now you have a problem.
friends retired in AZ winter months tell me they watch yotes near these newer neighhoods bait un fenced pups to chase after one decoy yote while the pack waits in ambush outof sight
