The size of that paw and claws!

Impressive bear! A dream hunt for sure.
Can you give a perspective of the logistics someone could expect on a bear hunt like that?
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1

The travel logistics. I flew into Anchorage first then a flight to Nome on Alaska airlines. When I arrived in Nome I had booked a flight into the village with Bering Air on a 9 passenger plane. This cost around $1500 round trip.This is where the guide or in my case my cousins son picked me up and we went on a 45 minute boat ride to their main hunting cabin. The next day we traveled by Argo for 4-5 hrs to where we would be tent camping in an attic oven tent for the rest of the hunt. License and tags. I purchased my Non resident hunting and fishing license online which was about $240 . When I arrived at the main camp I purchased my grizzly tag which was $1000 and a black bear tag which is $450. On the way back I had to pay for extra check bags and overweight fees to get everything back. Any other questions feel free to ask

Well done! Glad you could capitalize on that opportunity. I want one just like that! Sounds like a smooth operation. Plug for the guide service/ family member?
