That is awesome Gringo. I spent 5 summers in Sitka and only got to hunt deer one time while I was there. I would see bears constantly while heading out to take people fishing every day. Someday I plan on doing what you just did, it sounds like a blast! There really is something special about being one on one with those guys on a remote beach in SE AK, it really takes you back in time...

Oh...I forgot to mention....that bear measured about 7'6.  When we got it sealed the sealer said he guessed it to be between 12-15 years old.  He said in a year or so I would get the official info back.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
