Kevin Taranoff’s battle with the brown bear mirrored that of Carl Spackler (played by Bill Murray) and the gopher in ‘Caddyshack.’
Caddyshack comes to Alaska.
A Sitka golf club groundskeeper channelled Carl Spackler when he tried to poison a brown bear running riot on his course.

Just as Bill Murray’s character desperately tried to blow up a terrorising gopher in Harold Ramis’ hit 1980s sports movie, Kevin Taranoff became engaged in a long-running battle with the rampaging beast.

Taranoff tried to kill a brown bear, but instead killed two pet dogs.
In a bid to snare his tormentor, the 31-year-old laid down food laced with antifreeze across the Sea Mountain Golf Course.

But his venomous treats were accidentally eaten by two pet dogs out on a walk – who became seriously ill and died.
Taranoff was arrested in October and this week pleaded guilty to using unlawful methods and means to take game.
He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, fined $ 1,000, ordered to pay a restitution and placed on two years probation, Anchorage Daily News reports.
