Man discovered dead after being attacked by bear in Alaska


A 50-year-old hunter from Sitka, Alaska, named Tad Fujioka, was found dead on Wednesday after failing to return from a deer hunting trip. Alaska State Troopers launched a search and found his remains, indicating that he was likely the victim of a fatal bear mauling. Sitka, where the incident occurred, is a city and borough located in the Alaska panhandle. The specific type of bear involved in the attack was not specified, but Alaska is home to black bears, brown bears (including grizzlies), and polar bears. The state has around 100,000 black bears and 30,000 brown bears, according to the Department of Fish and Game. Polar bears, considered threatened, have a much smaller population and typically range further north than Sitka. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that can be faced when hunting in bear country, and highlights the importance of taking necessary precautions and being prepared for potential encounters with wildlife in Alaska.
