MN Bear How Big???
30 minutes to St Paul makes it metro to me. but maybe I am wrong. I have only harvested 2 bears in my career. I shot my first bear 20 years ago and I thought it was a giant when i saw it... it was 125 lbs. The second one's belly almost rubbed the ground ended up being a 14.5 year old dry sow...- miles

MN Bear How Big???
Maybe this will help I am 5'9" and 210 lbs with a 30 inseam... Seems like everyone is across the board. He is big enough for me, I am hoping I get a chance at him so we can get a real weight. I figure for hunting the metro area of MN harvesting a self guided bear is an accomplishment.- miles

OYO Silver salmon fishing in Alaska?
Anchor river has great fishing early Aug... you can camp right on the river and do a half day halibut charter. You can also go into homer and fish the fishing hole on the spit I guess it was overflowing with silvers, jacks and kings this year.- miles

MN No Quota Help!!!
41 I haven't even been out since opener. With the heat and the bait not being hit I figured I would let it cool off. I am heading out tomorrow to check again and decide from there on what I do. Let me know how the honey burn works for ya. I am probably going to try the same thing. Good luck.- miles

MN No Quota Help!!!
I shot one in 95 and one in 98. The one in 98 dressed out at just under 300. I just want to knock one down this year, but not a small one (under 150). I am hoping to use this year to get my skills in order and next year expand to 3 baits and try to get something with a little size...- miles
