Update | 12:36 p.m. Wednesday
A homeowner shot and killed a brown bear on Douglas Island last week. It’s the first brown bear documented on the island in more than 40 years.
Sightings of brown bears are often reported but there’s been no proof – until now, said Ryan Scott, regional conservation supervisor for Alaska Department of Fish & Game.
An adult brown bear weighing at least 700 pounds was shot and killed by a homeowner near North Douglas
