Typically that is so with brown bears, though interior bears are still eaten a fair amount by residents. There is no meat salvage requirements for brown bears. Black bears, on the other hand, have to be salvaged in most areas in the spring and it is optional in the fall. I have eaten both species in spring n fall and found them good eating.

Wow what a bear!!!
-
First measurements are in. 10'4" square and 29+" on the skull.
-
A 10 ft bear isn't as common as folks think. Holy smokes. That's big.

When I was packing and guiding hunters in ID and MT, it was my life's goal to be a brown bear guide. You ever elk hunt Kodiak?
-
That's a giant!

Cool, Thank you! Now if only I was rich enough to afford such a trip. Maybe some day before the body quits!

Well it all depends on the guide and if he chooses to do a little stretching. Mine was 9'11" un stretched. A lot of time its all about the skull.

great bear thanks for posting

I've been on a few elk hunts. Some in Alaska and some in Washington.
-
I don't think many people realize just how big a 10' bear is.
:tup:
Would love to hear the story!
-
:yeah:
-
Holy moly.
-
Holy moly.
Wouldn't you love to send a fletched projectile through one of those at ten yards using your longbow? What a thrill that would be!

Was meat taken from this bear ? Not sure I understand. A monster of a bear, but was only the head and hide taken ?
-
Did the bear have an injury on its nose? in some of the pictures it looks like he might have taken a bullet square to the schnoz, you can see in the skull pics that this isn't what happened but his nose looks a little tore up? would be cool mount with old battle scars and busted tooth, love character in taxidermy

My guess would be a lung shot and the bear coughing up blood as he expired.

Raspberry or Afognak?

Certain places and times of the year it's legal to leave the meat on a bear in Alaska. My friend brought home the meat off his bear one year from prince of whales Is from a spring hunt, terrible meat, even the sausage tasted like crap.

Both. I grew up on raspberry.

For the guys questioning the meat. I'll eat almost anything. From my time hunting brown bears, seeing crap piles that are 50% worms and stories I've heard........ I have zero issue with not taking any of the meat and did not take any on the brown in my avatar.
Alaska has some pretty cool rules as far as non waste. You can't kill anything to leave it lay. Here we can shoot rock chucks (for example) for the sake of shooting them. In Alaska you'd have to skin it out and salvage it for something. As picky as they are about use and they don't require you to take the meat......I'm sold on no thank you. :chuckle:
