This survey is part of a PhD project and intends to record Alaska's residents perspectives and experiences encountering bears in the wild over the last 30 years. This research intends to evaluate circumstances and locations of bear encounters in relation to urbanization and people's perspectives, with the goal to inform wildlife management.

You will be asked about encounters you have had with bears (not in captivity), how those encounters affected you, about your recreational activities, and your general perceptions regarding bears. Please mark all that apply.
