Our very own Clay Adam, deputy chief with Cooper Landing Emergency Services, responded to a call along with Alaska State Troopers on July 30 for a local bear attack.
According to the Time Magazine article, “A man who was clearing a trail behind his property in south-central Alaska was found dead with wounds consistent with a bear attack, Alaska State Troopers said Thursday.
Clay Adam, said local authorities received a call about 9:50 p.m. and when they arrived at the small, remote cabin learned the incident had occurred about a 45-minute to one-hour hike up the side of a mountain behind the residence. Given the darkness, there were safety concerns with trying to reach the area, Adam said.”
The article went on to read, “Cyndi Wardlow, a regional supervisor with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, said based on preliminary information, officials believe the animal involved was a brown bear.”
