The Bear Guy  

Anchorage Alaska, Charlie Vandergaw, former science teacher who resides on a homestead in the Yentna River Valley 50 miles northwest of Anchorage Alaska...

He is retired and has been FEEDING bears in his cottage's back yard for over 25 years. The bears just come and hang out and he believes them to be his friends..

Wow, good luck with that.




Over the years he has fed bears, befriended bears, nursed injured bears back to health, and allowed bears inside his cabin; now it is not unusual to find several black and brown bears lounging around his "Bear Farm" yard on any given day.

As you can imagine, wildlife officials are not too happy with him!
