    Cleaning a gun...

    Don't forget to use black electrical tape on the end of your barrel. I wrap extra arond the base of the barrel to use after I shoot. You cannot afford the time to stop and clean your barrel (or even look to see it's clear) when a big Bear is bearing down on you.

    Cleaning a gun...

    Most hunters use the stainless up here. Not many of my hunters bring blued guns any more. I T-coated my blued 45/70 and am very impressed. Some locals even have stainless T-coated. Take a kit-n-kabootle. "Take a picture of you gun, it will never look the same again" is what I tell all my...

    Float bags..

    Campmor ..... get the see through ones ..... get a small, med, large and a little larger. Or 2 of each. Break you stuff down into the smaller ones. Those (you show) are to big for a bush plane ride. Pilots like many small bags over a few large ones. Mine are packed and ready to load. 2 larger...

    the season has begun

    Orvis ... The globalstar phone works very good. I had the iridium at first (before globalstar was up) but switched when iridium went under. Got into globalstar for very reasonable with the iridium by back and the globalstar promotions to pickup iridium customers. I like the GS unit better and...

    Float bags..

    As for dry bags I use them alot. Actually for everthing. I like the see type. What you need is usually in the bottom. I just got some from Campmor yesterday. Clear and one of each size.

    Float bags..

    When you travel by jet you want everything in 1 large bag. But in the little planes you want many small bags. Compactor bags a tough (also contractor bags, the large black type are very tough) and with some gray tape, can seal it up. Contractor bags can also be used to submerge your meat (and...

    the hunt continues

    Jens didn't pull the trigger. We had a great weekend. Camped out and had some very good weather. Actually the weather was to good. Our Bears don't like nice weather. Things work better in the rain around here. We saw about 10 Bears 3 of those were shooters. One we stalked to with in 10 yards was...

    Actually I have a Mavica that is several years old. I have never used the movie feature on it. I do have some pics of nice Bear on my web site. But you are right one of those big ones walking around is an awesum sight. Also it's not just Prince of Wales but all of Southern South East has...

    Cammo...

    You definately know when it's Bear season on POW Island. All the lower 48ers show up wearing camo. Many look like they just stepped out of a Cabela's cattledog. In fact they wear it getting off the plane and to the restaurant and ...... just pis*es off a lot of locals when coupled with that...

    Black Bear Hunting in SE Alaska

    This is not a "early year" for SE. We had mixed rain and snow yesterday, with heavy snow from 600 or 800 feet elevation again. The average den elevation in SE is about 1500 feet elevation and it is still plenty of winter up there. These Bears know not to come out too early. There is no food...
