365 yards, I can't even see that far any more Wink
Phil, then I guess I should bring a 45-70 for the Moose hunt in September? :-)

Fourtyonesixforget the bear, thats some awesome country!!
nice bear too, but man that valley is pretty killer.
how'd they get a jeep back in there?
Could only get the Jeep out a few miles from camp, and even that was pretty rough and weather dependent (snow melt in the rivers).

Thanks all....now if Phil can put me on a good Moose this September, I can fill some space in the trophy room!

What a great Bear and that country is great.
I harvested my sheep about 20 miles from where you shot that bear.
Tom has a great area and you had a guide that has probably more experince in Alaska than any 4 guides.I know that Tom is please you filled a cancelled spot and probably more than happy you bagged out.
Well now we need to bag our big moose.

Larry, thanks for the lead on the opening.
Congratulations on a fantastic grizzly! Isn't spring bear hunting in Alaska an incredible experience?

klr2matoNew to the site but saw this and couldn't resist. That is a nice bear. I just got back from SE AK black bear hunt. Shot a very nice 450# bear with my 338 RUM. Only 200 yards. 225gr Nosler Accubond. Instant dead bear. Both lungs were turned to soup. 33 caliber hole in and .750 out. If I can figure out how I'll post a picture.

Paul, congrats to you and the young'uns as well.
It goes without saying that this is an extremely beautiful bear and a fine accomplishment.
How were your boots in that terrain? It looks like plenty of scree and a good bit of every other kind of ground plus plenty of water.

Norm, I had recently bought a pair of Kennetrex boots, and was quite happy with them. Very easy break-in, and stiff enough for the rocky terrain without being heavy. I was going to wear my Meindls, but wanted a bit of insulation. A guy tipped me off to a sale on the Kennetrex at Sierra Trading. They were $450, then on sale, then a special coupon....got them for $197.50! Great boots.
