2011 Grizzly Bear
« on: April 29, 2011, 09:11:40 PM »
Well why not add some photo's and a little narrative of my activities helping the local moose herd this past tuesday the 26th here on the Seward Peninsula in Northwest Alaska.
Left town at about 9:30 am and trailered to the current end of the road due to drifted snow at mile 17. Unloaded and hauled ass 34 miles to get into the part of unit 22 that is open for hunting at this time of year.


The snow is turning into punchy junk in the afternoons now but in the photo's to follow it's about perfect.


Hunted the 25th and 26th and between the two days saw 12 bears. Passed on a good male monday afternoon for some stupid reason I still can't figure out. Located 4 separate dens 3 of which had bears in them.




If any of you has ever wondered what a grizzly bear condominium looks like there you have it. Smelled like earth and nothing more. Quite clean really.



Even the little girls like to eat moose so I did my duty and killed this little sow. Hide was a very pretty blond with dark legs and was about 6'5''. Skull was a little chunk of bone at 20 5/16'' and that's that.




Looking out over my favorite mountain range The Kigluaiks at 10:00 pm on an April evening. Gotta like it.
Good luck to all you spring bear hunters.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
