    Default Kodiak Bear Hunt Pics (there are dead bear pics here)

    Had a long hunt and fabulous weather to do it in with a good friend. And we found a very good bear.

    We ate well, too:


    The oystercatchers did not approve of our presence.


    Okay, I see why not.


    They should have gotten a room...

    And a lot more crab for the ride home. We pulled a "light sport pot" from 60 fathoms (6' x 60 = 360') and it just about got us gutted doing it. It was so full of tanner crabs it was ridiculous. When we dropped it back there were at least 25 more big crabs in there!

    Thanks Art. Nice bear. How big? 9 ft. squared? How about telling us about the rifle and beautiful scope I see on it?
    Looks like you guys had fun.

    Wow! What a monster. I noticed you kept the cape for mounting, just curious what you do with the skull?
