Alaska Black Bear with Spitz and Fin

[JM77]

Looks like a blast, congrats!

Either Fin has really small hands or that is one big bear.

Very awesome, congrats to you both. I enjoy watching your hunts together. Someday I will make it to southeast Alaska and do the same.

 

[Big Fin]

When I hook 'em, I cook 'em.....Kim Newberg, circa 1994. Words to live by.




Spitz and Marcus will post theirs later

 

[Big Fin]

And out of curiosity, what cartridge were you guys using on those beasts? .308?

Both taken with a Howa 7mm-.08 using 140 grain Nosler AccuBond Trophy Grade ammo. Both were complete pass through. Scope was a Leupold VX-6 2-12x.

Awesome Randy, I'm equally impressed by that fish!
Ever heard of the Scottish Macnab?
Shoot a Stag, Catch a Salmon and shoot a brace of Grouse all within a 24 hour period.
I can imagine a unique Newberg equivalent being created.
There is also a Royal Macnab, but we won't go there!
Cheers

Very jealous, congrats on what looks to be a great trip. How bad were the bugs? Looks a little cold yet.

The only thing tougher than dreaming about a hunt like that is having experienced a hunt like that, and then longing to return. Knowing exactly what you are missing is tougher than imagining it. Looks like you had a great time and both bears are studly looking. I have to admit I'm a little envious of that huge white patch on your bear. I can never seem to kill a bear with any kind of large colored patch. I've seen a few, but have never had one I wanted to pull the trigger on.

 

[Festus]

Way Cool! Congrats! Living the dream!

Smoked salmon and Barbequed black bear for dinner?

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

Nicely done!
The bear in the morning/salmon in the evening schedule looks like it is the way to go. It will be interesting to find out more about the size, age, etc. of the bears once the dust settles a bit.

 

[Big Fin]

Another hard morning on the river.

Big bears and big fish, does life get any better?

 

[Crumb]

Holy moly, those are a couple of big bears!! Congrats on a great hunt, and some good fishing as well!! I can’t wait to watch the episodes.

 

[Redman]

Look at those punkin heads on them bears! Good work guys!

 

[BrentD]

Those don't look like walleyes? Do they taste good, or do you just toss'em back? Actually, did you catch them on a line or whack'em with a Howa handshake?

It would be interesting to figure out how to skin that bear to best preserve the chest blaze. Heck of a bear though.

Here's my 2 kings. It was truly an amazing week. I feel bad saying that this is my job!

 

[Spitz]

This week has left me speechless. An experience and memories that will endure.

 

[ewludwig]

Wow! Two enormous bears and a few great kings. I thought we did well until seeing these pics. Well done fellas.

 

[Sytes]

Sheesh! One would think you entered the land of the lost! Everything is Huuuuge!
Grats again guys!
