great bear, and it looks like it is well haired. Some of the pictures I have seen this season of badly rubbed bears being shot amazes me.

Doug, are you shocked at how bad the bears are rubbed, or that people are shooting rubbed bears?

I was with Dave Leonard of Mountain Monarchs north of Cold Bay on the peninsula. The guide was Peter Mayall and he did a terrific job. As far as size, I did not measure him so do not know, he was an old bear, will post pic of his mouth if I can find it.

Fourtyonesix,
Not so dry tundra, more like a swamp, 2-1/2 miles of alternating through calf deep wet grass/mud and knee deep, wader tearing alder thicket.

Steve,
you nailed it, how did you do in oz? Have you heard from Peter, how he did after I left?

Great Bear and congratulations. I wish I was down there this spring, but alas, some knee issues kept me home. Cathedral is an awesome place, glad you had a great hunt.

Riley Pitts wife told me they had taken a second bear. Peter's girlfriend confirmed the second bear this morning in a message. They have a bow hunter now. Weather hasn't been the best.

They got a 3rd bear. The bow hunter gave up with the bow and used a 338 after he saw how big they were. Cracked his forehead.

Last I heard, as above mentioned, they had three bears down. But, that was only a few days into the season, so I am sure they have a few more down by now.

Peter went 3 for 3. I think he got personally shut out due to high winds.

Hi,
Sorry for late reply....just got back from Zambia.
Had a great Sambar hunt with Emma. Passed up on two stags in velvet.
Peter did go 3 for 3 but did not get a bear for himself.
I will be back on the Sambar with him in a couple of weeks.
