Kodiak Wilderness Adventures out of my home town, Port Lions, Alaska,

Check them out.

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

A 10 ft bear isn't as common as folks think. Holy smokes. That's big.

 :yeah:
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.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

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?

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.

Would love to hear the story!

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.
