Does anyone have a number of people who were caught up in the deal where they shot a polar bear when it was legal to bring them back to the U.S. but then ended up not being allowed to bring them back?

Tom - I shot the bear pictured below in 2003, and it still sits in Canada. The area I hunted (Gulf of Boothia) was still closed for importation then, but was next on the list to open. I really wanted to hunt this area out of Hall Beach, as I knew it would be very good. I shot this 9' 5" boar on the first day of my hunt. Unfortunately changes came along, and the open importation of Polar Bears from the Gulf of Boothia never happened!

I did book numerous clients in other locations that were importable into the U.S., and all of them got their bears home.

Tom,

If I am reading it correctly, looks like 41.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
