Thanks guys for the information will check all of it out. My buddy and myself are in pretty good shape, and have hunted Alaska before but realize those mountains+alders+pecker brush meant TROUBLE!

DB Bill, great bear!!! Shot a 528 lb. boar that made B&C here in N.C. this year Not as good as one taken about 4 years ago (868 pounder) but a really nice bear!

See Palmers thread on his bear with Phil Shoemaker, I can fix you up with Phil for 2006 for sure and perhaps 2005..You will get a big bear.

Hmmm,

If I were a non-resident, Phil is the guy I'd go with for sure. Not cheap, but you never hear of any problems either.
