Alaska State Troopers say an Anchorage man was forced to climb a tree to dodge a black bear near Campbell Airstrip.
An Anchorage police dispatcher Saturday summoned Palmer Wildlife Troopers to take the report of the man harassed on the Basher Trail near Campbell Airstrip.
Charles L. Lamb of Anchorage told officers he was forced up a tree by a large black bear at about 11:30 a.m.
Lamb was able to get the attention of people walking with dogs and the dogs chased the bear off.
Lamb says the bear stalked them for a half mile as they walked out.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers walked to the area and found fresh bear tracks and hair.
Troopers were unable to locate the animal. Warning signs have been posted in the area.
