I was just thinking of Heather while I was reading this. I have only carried in Montana while I was working as a geologist there, 44 mag. I have never been to Alaska, much to my dismay.

My interest in this topic is the 290 attacks per year or month. From what I have seen in the newspaper articles, the most cited study is that BYU study from 2008. Even the 290 attacks a YEAR could put the statistical results at risk. In other words, the study would be bull. How do they keep track of this stuff in ALaska? It is a big enough place I could see people blowing off reporting it. Don't get me wrong on this, I would just like to know what IS an accurate attack rate estimate. In my mind, everything else drops out from this.

What do the people FROM Alaska think?
