Prince of Wales Bears

[Abolt338]

Wife, buddy, and I just returned from POW Island yesterday.  Only had four days on the island, but we saw 19 bears, and managed these three for the meat locker.







Eddie's bear (#1) was taken 20 minutes into our initial drive on the island, squared 6'8" and should score near 21" on the skull.

My wife's bear (#2) was taken on a beach on day three.  It measured 7'4" and green scored over 22" (by the sealer).  It was a HUGE bear!

My bear was taken on the last day as a tag filler.  We saw many nicer and bigger bears, but my effort on the trip was for my wife.  Once she filled her tag, I took the first boar I could find.  He squared 6' even and had a green skull of 18 7/16".

Not bad for a 4-day vacation.

Well done - Nice 3'fer on bears.  There's no shortage on POW but finding them in the spring without being so rubbed out is difficult.  It's a great hunt nontheless and you guys/gal did well!

It was a DIY hunt with zero previous experience in Alaska.  We learned a TON on this trip, and we're planning on going back in a year.

Very nice bears!!  Good job on filling tags with quality animals.

However, I want to know about that maple stocked rifle, specifically the stock!!!  Who made it, how much does it weigh?  etc..
