| Infamous "Killer Bear" In Abraham Parker's Barn. Gustavus, Alaska. |
Finally! The large, brown "Killer Bear" that terrorized & killed over 50 homestead cattle in one 3 yr. span was killed himself! "Killer Bear" always left signature mark of bitten off nose, deep neck bites, and no meat eaten. He remained elusive though hunted by bands of pioneers for years. Shot by Harry Hall "point blank" in total darkness in corral of terrified cattle.
