Title: Arctic Grizzly
Post by: Guy on June 03, 2017, 08:57:43 AM: (https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi87.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk129%2FGuyMiner%2FAlaska%2520Hunt%25202017%2FIMG_2470_zps7yk5zxoz.jpg&hash=ef3f62ac602f5ef772fc40341713e90f2a46533a) (http://s87.photobucket.com/user/GuyMiner/media/Alaska%20Hunt%202017/IMG_2470_zps7yk5zxoz.jpg.html)

Just returned from an amazing hunt, taking wolf and grizzly above the arctic circle. These bears are smaller than their salmon-fed coastal cousins, but incredible in their own right. I've wanted to hunt grizzly in the arctic since I was a kid, 50 years ago. So, I made it happen.

Am so glad to have had the opportunity to hunt the arctic! It was everything I'd imagined and more.

Two hunters, two guides. Two good bears and a wolf down. Hours, no days, of glassing... Crazy weather. It was a great hunt!
