Post by: RightPlace-RightTime on May 03, 2010, 04:14:26 AM: Well after a while of waiting, 4 of us members, Myself, JJDavis,Stickhunter and Rackhunter are headed up to Petersburg Alaska for a black bear hunt.

Post by: shanevg on May 03, 2010, 07:19:15 AM: Sounds awesome! I have always wanted to do that.

Out of curiosity, how is the meat on those spring black bears up there? Are you required to keep it all?

Good luck!

Post by: RightPlace-RightTime on May 03, 2010, 08:06:52 PM: Thanks for all the good lucks, :-) We will try our hardest to come back safe.
As far as keeping the meat, You are required to recover the meat until a certain date. To be honest the first time We went up there, my bear was recovered the next day due to the tides and also another bear got into it that night. I was not able to salvage the meat.

Me and Stickhunter know the lodge owner and get the best deal you ca possibly get if you know what i mean. :-)
We are going to get as much video as we can and also take a ton of pics. Im excited for the crab fishing while up there also.

The last time, the first week of may produced 5 for 7 and im told more bear are out that second week, i hope all of us 4 buds tag out anyway.
I want to try and call some also.

Will post update and pics after hunt.

Thanks guys.
