And who said that steel shot is not effective. "On a side note, we got one duck (a gadwall)" :chuckle:
Great story :tup:

Portage says it all :yike:

Thats actually not that uncommon to have brown bears patrolling the duck flats in AK. Theres lots of food for them to eat out there and they are not easy to see so they can get on you quickly. We've had them b bopping around us but never had anythign like that happen. We've almost had to shoot above their heads a couple times but although this story is pretty amazing its not all that suprising.

ya never know what your gonna get when living in AK. I enjoyed my 6 yrs there from '04-2010. My friend from up there sent me this same story a few weeks ago. I never hunted portage Here's a pic of a Caribou I saw from a blind i hunted my first year on the Kenai flats.

The most memorable duck day I ever had was in the Palmer Hay Flats with my dog, Shuksan, watching the Northern Lights.

Either that bear was very weak, or our honkers here on Whidbey Island are tough. #4 steel shot has never worked great on a big goose :chuckle: :chuckle:

I saw this a week or two ago, I don't think I would like to be in there shoes. I remember talking to a guy where a skunk rolled into there blind and the dog got a hold of it. That would be another one of those experience I wouldn't like to try.

this might quit possibly be one of the most freakish stories ive ever heard. thats amazing! whatever shells they were using the company should start putting on the box "certified grizzly proof" :chuckle: and on the side where it says which number for duck or goose like BB- goose, #2-Duck/goose #3-Duck #4-Duck, Brown bears. :tup:

WOAH! scary! :yike: :bdid:

Not good.

I bet the whole thing was over in seconds, but felt like hours to those guys. Kudo's for not being vicitms :tup:

Had a Black Bear swim into my decoy spread yesterday while hunting in Lower BC.
-
I think my next purchase after that would be a new gun for duck hunting... a 500 S&W

Or a box of 12ga slugs. i hunted ducks in Sitka a few times and we never left the boat without slugs. Never had any close calls.

awesome Sisu, i walked parts of the hay flats once when i lived in Palmer for a year n half. didn't have a boat or an atv and wanted to get out there so bad. you guys can have great shooting on the palmer hayflats. I'm thankful that i now have a new roughneck. I really have no interest in moving back but if i do, ill be ready to haul out of here if this country goes off the deep end by electing Obama again. Every day is a duck weather day up in Alaska. I miss that part so much. I remember hunting me and my dog on the upper kenai when it was snowing. My first duck hunt in the snow and knocked down some goldeneyes and had one in full plume and big mounted. it looks great. Rick, at caribou unlimited in sterling is an excellent bird man and i mean he's good. I had18 mounts done prior to moving to AK and he made those birds which were done in K falls look like amatures.
