DavidAK: Those are some big old black bears. Who is shooting the Wby and in what caliber? Nice photographs. Were you in Prince William Sound? Give us some details on the hunt and the beasts...how many bears did you see? Those look like really good black bears.

Congratulations.

The weatherby belonged to a guy from Tx. It's a .338-378. It was responsible for two out of the 5 bears we got. Others were shot with .30-378 and .338RUM.

I don't know how many bears we saw, too many to keep track of over the 6 week period we were out and about.

We drew a blank on a couple of bow stalks, they were monster bears...

None of the skulls broke 21 inches, but several were very close. The biggest bear squared out a bit over 7ft, and some of the others were in the 6.5-7ft range. All had good hides.

The steelies were icing on the cake...

And by the way, my April, and May, was and is great...lots of brown bears and at least one nice chunky king salmon. It is a good year already..

Yes, congrats on your bear...well done. I hit the beaches a touch too early for browns.

Not a bad way to start the year, eh?

dave

Absolutely...keep up the good work...your muskox was stunning. I want to try that hunt.

Dave,

I think I'm going to miss another brown bear season too. Took the family out camping last weekend, and now I need to pull the lil'boat out of the slip tomorrow since I'm heading out of town. Maybe I can take a quick run around locally and spot one. In fact, that's going to be the plan.

Where does the time go?...

Gent's,

Dave and I spent some of April together, and I thought I'd add some more pictures...

Yeah, time flies once you get rolling....being back in the snow and ice sucks pretty bad, let me tell you.

Cool pix, man.

Wow,

I haven't been over here in a while and I get to relive the glory this afternoon. Nice to trip over this. Thanks guys!

Mine wasn't quite as successful!

That pic is great!

Lots of power on that motor, eh?

Nice Bears, and nice fish.
Ya'll might want to hire me to drive the boat.

Robin,

That's great!

Heck, we screwed up messing around the cabin, and that how my boat (the drop bow above) got stranded for a tide cycle...

But your's is priceless.

A lil'slack on that bow line might have helped eh?

DavidAK and BW
Thanks for posting those fabulous pictures.

Nice Pictures, Nice Black Bears. I'm going on a Black Bear hunt next week in Ontario. I hope my black bear is as big as you guys.
