Scott told me this year that he has been in on 42 Grizzly kills since he's been in Alaska. He hasn't shot all of those, but he's shot quite a few.

From the looks of guide pricing, I think it would be cheaper/more cost effective just to buy a place up there and hunt as a resident than paying for a guide at 10K plus a pop!

Alaska has the "Near Kin" law which allows me to hunt with my brother and not pay guide fee's. I've figured that including the 2 Moose I've shot, I've saved about 40,000 George Washington's hunting with him!

It's an incredible hunt. The only thing that I'd like to hunt more is Cape Buffalo. Hopefully one of these days I will.
