On July 19, 2021, at approximately 11:12 hours the Alaska State Troopers in Fairbanks were notified that an adult male shot a bear in defense of his life. A preliminary investigation revealed that the adult male and his son were walking in a remote area near Smallwood Trail off Chena Hot Springs Road when they encountered a sow grizzly bear with a cub. The bear charged the man who shot it with his .44 magnum revolver. The bear was injured but not killed and fled from the area.
