I returned from a self guided Southeast Alaska bear hunt. I went with a group of 6 and it was all of ours first trip to Southeast Alaska.
The weather was perfect on the day we arrived and proceeding to rain everyday after that. The boat I was in ended up going 3 for 3 of bears but no real monsters. The boat did a good job of getting on the halibut but did not have much luck with the bears.
In total we had 5 days of hunting with 1 day of travel on each end. The trip was absolutely amazing and a huge learning experience. The biggest lesson learned is we should have planned for a longer trip, no one wanted to leave at the end.
Thanks to all on this forum that helped, reading the previous black bear posts and watching Randy's videos was a huge help.
Here are a few pics from the trip, we were really getting use to eating fresh halibut and bear meat everyday.
