Who knows the real story on this Bear?
The version I got is that the girl is 9 years old from the Yukon and killed this Bear on the AK Peninsula October of 2006. Bear supposedly has a 33 1/16" skull.
Tell me the real story.............

Thanks for the straight story micdis!

I wonder if she will shoot another one when she turns ten.

Hunters under ten are not allowed to have thier own tags,permits. So they must use a supervising adults tag. The bag limit will count for the adult.

Anyways it is a huge animal and she should be proud. She has also shot sheep and has been to Africa.

Makes me jealous but goodness what doesn't. Would be nice to be rich.

Guess she turned ten this year.

More info on the Huntress.

Thanks RMiller for the link.
Makes me wish my dad was an Outfitter or PH when I was a kid!

I also posted this in the American Hunting section of the forum.

No kidding! I could probably die happy with the hunting this girl has done before age 10.

Something about those photos looks odd to me??

maybe its just me, but did anyone else notice how short her rifles are? i wish i had parents like hers. makes me jealous.

LARK: Liberals Accepting Responsibility for Killers

OOORAH!!!

my first reaction was that it didn't look like Oct......looks like a spring hunt to me. the next reaction was to find a REg book and see if the season was open in the fall of 2006....Nope, Ak penn is open fall of odd 3 years, spring of even number years. When several things don't line up coreectly I am always sceptical of a the rest....33 1?16 would indeed by a new record.
I thought it would make the anchorage paper soon after it was measured..

my two cents...

very nice bear BTW,

The bear hunting article says it was May 10, 2006 and that the bear was officially scored at 29-1/16".

I bet she was glad she hadn,t been told she couldn,t shoot a good bear caliber because of EXTREME Recoil and Horrendous Muzzel Blast......................See even girls want to shoot real rifles

Well done Fern, and well done her dad.
Great to see youngsters shooting, I like to encourage any youngster that wants my help.
I feel privalaged to have done what I have done in my life and WE ALL have to put something back.

Wow
