AK report
« on: May 08, 2010, 03:14:39 AM »
Well,
I have been in Alaska 10 days now.
The first week of hunting was a little slow, but one guy off the boat did manage to kill a decent black boar.
We started hunting browns today, saw several. passed up about a 8'6" boar and saw one monster but couldnt get within range before he vanished.
Its late here and this cell internet on the boat is slow so ill just load a few pics for now, but there will be plenty to come.

Looks to be one heck of a trip. The first black bear taken appears to be pretty darn big. Great pics. What kind of bird is that? How close were you to the brown bear? Look forward to more from you.

Filmed and took pics of this Sow for about 15 mins today from around a hundred yards.
I also filmed a pod of about 30 Orca whales today. Now they are cool critters. Was to busy filming to get any stills though

I am spending the whole month up here...

We found a monster today, had him at under 300 yards twice but he slipped away both times before a shot.
He was prob close to a 10' boar.. :drool:

Are you after brown or black bears? That sow has quite the crease on the head.

Good luck, thanks for posting the pics! You're making lots of people jealous I am sure!
