These guys were the real deal. They would walk half way across the island packing bear hides and camp on their backs wearing rubber boots.

Here's a good book, can't put it down once you start it. Warning, this book will give you nightmares.

A common thread running through a lot of those stories seems to be:
"The last thing I remember before blacking out was the sound of the bear's teeth grinding across my skull"

My wife sent me this pic from an outfitter's page.
My great granparents had interests in some caneries up in Alaska during the 1930,s into the 50,s. Morris was a cousin of my great grandmother and would make trips to Washington to duck hunt and deer hunt from time to time with my grandparents. My family has lots of pics of this bear and pics of others these two killed. This one is a Kodiak and was killed near Olga bay. My great grandma seen it alive twice and said it looked like it was the size of a car moving through the brush. Bill and Morris were hunting machines and were the best bear guys around.

I have read and reread books on these guys, The Last of the Great Brown Bear men is great.
To have been there.....[/

And yes, the first pic I posted of the bear Bill killed with the rifle leaning on it, is an octagon barrel 30-30 believe it or not.
