That is awesome, thanks so much for sharing the story beginning to end.  The pictures really add to the whole thing.

How was the skinning, packing and boat ride out?

Casino money well spent. Congrats man! I play the same slot on occasion at the Tulalip, I've had pretty good luck with it too.

Looks like a great time. Definitely one of my Must do hunts. So awesome.

great story can I borrow your lucky rabbit foot?

I'm guessing he would probably give it to you at this point. All the luck has been used up lol.

Nice story and beautiful bear. Definitely a "bucket list" hunt if there ever was one

@ Rainier
The skinning took about three hours with both of us. And a storm set in. It rained something serious. We were able to take a canoe to with in maybe 200 yards of the bear. Then we packed everything to the canoe. We made it back to camp about midnight. Then we had 8 foot seas and could not get out for a day and a half. So we just hung out and I took pictures and videos of some other smaller bears. When we went back it was 4 foot seas. Even at that in a small boat you really need to pay attention or it could be your last day. In the lower 48 I feel like we are in charge. Up here it is so raw and rugged. Mother Nature rules. Not us, it comes very clear quickly.

One thing I did not bring was gun oil. I would highly recommend it. I had cleaned my gun the week before the trip with a nice coat of oil the. Wiped it clean. Went to the range put three rounds thru it to get any thing out of the bore and left. I think we were only out five days total. The rust sets in fast. I will completely take the gun apart and clean and oil it.
