Brown Bear at Hoonah - silver back

Hoonah is one of two villages on a big Island in Alaska. It is reported to have the most bears per square foot of any other place in Alaska and the world. I had been told that Admiralty Island had the most bears but Hoonah says they have that claim to fame. Hoonah also says they have the biggest bears. One bear named Tiny is 1500 pounds. Nobody messes with Tiny, they say. I guess Tiny also stays away from people. Hoonah is also where 2 of the 3 police officers were shot and killed last month. The bear in the picture was about 400 to 500 pounds and he is a silver back. That means he was a brown bear, Grizzly, with silver hair down his back. I also found some bear hair on the ground while hiking in Hoonah.
