Polar bear in Barrow, AK

[Widgeondeke]

This polar bear got a little too close to town last week. A couple locals (Inupiaq) went out on a snow machine and shot it t close range. Notice no scoope. It was only a couple hundred yards from town at the time.
It was a smallish one at 8.5'
They wouldn't allow us to take pictures. They did email us thier approved pics.

Definately see some things up here that I will NEVER see anywhere else.

The hides sale for between $3-5k on average up here.  Depends on size mainly.  A pair of mittens made of polar bear go $1, 000
