That is a great report Sikander. I am sure many of your friends are asking you a lot of questions about Alaska!

I am American and have never been to Alaska! That needs to change.

Great bear!

Great to hear that sikander. I have enjoyed your posts that think its great to read about someone from Pakistan, hunting North America. It gives a different perspective.

Now, you need to hunt mule deer and elk in the U.S!

I would love to hunt your country one day as well.

thankx

Great bear!! congratulations on a successful hunt.

Congratulations Sikander!!

A hunt you'll never forget for sure!

Nice Bear too!

EXCELLENT report and photos!
Fantastic

Congratulations skilander,, pretty neat country up there!

im greatfull for all ur coments.was a dream come true

Your bear had huge claws - will it be a rug or a full body mount?

I was just at a house in Seward, AK and they had a full body mount of a huge grizzly. Very impressive. Funny thing was it was in their kitchen!

dave my friend im doing a full body mount standing with salmon and some antlers infront of his feets.i would love to have him in my bed room.but i have a huge and comfortable place for him. thankx and regards
