Perhaps the most misunderstood creature of the outdoors, the bear is seen by some as a cuddly giant and by others as a vicous killer.  The truth lies somewhere between.  Nothing prepares you for a bear encounter better than learning from those who have experienced bears first-hand.  Alaska Bear Tales is a collection of more than 200 real-life accounts filled with all the horror, courage, and even humor inherent when man meets bear.  These bear tales are so intriguing--so unbelievable--that they often read like fiction.
