I flew into Juneau. Then to the ferry to Haines. Then I took a charter plane from Haines to Juneau on the way back. It's very impressive country.

Right on, I thought I recognized that airport Bear could not remember if it was Juneau, or Sitka. Thanks for sharing this hunt very cool!

@ Carpsniper
He has 24 inch skull. And was 9' 1" squared. There guess was 12 years old. But with his tooth wear they said he maybe older. The fish and game took a tooth so at some time I should be able to get the age. He was not a mega bear. But he was a big bear.

The one I shot...

I did get my results back from Alaska Fish and Game.  This bear was 6 years old, skull legnth was 15.19 inches and had a width of 8 inches.  Total size 23.19.

The average age of bears taken by hunters during the regulatory year 2010 was 8.75 years.  The average skull size of bears taken by hunters that year was 22.38 inches.

So, younger than most taken last year, but he had a bigger head.  I was surprised how many bears are killed that are this small.  With all of the 8-10 foot bears taken, there must be a lot of 6 footers taken as well...

A link to the story if interested...

Oh wow  I'm sure they age tons of bears thou

The age doesn't really change anything. But I'm sure curious!!
