This is the Grizzly I shot out of Nome this past week. Green score has it at 24 and 8/16's. It won't be eligble to be officially scored for another 60 days but it should make the 24" minimum easily. It squared out an honest 8 foot, an incredible bear by any standard. Guesstimated weight was 650-700 pounds.

Wow!!! Congrats. How far was the shot?

Nice Bear...tell us the details!

Congrats on a great bear! We definitely need more details. What did you shoot him with? How far was the shot? How many shots did it take? How far did he run?

Thanks for sharing the photo!

We're still hunting for another Grizzly for my brother. His buddy got a nice Moose, now Scott wants to get a bear. I'll fill in all the details when I get home. It was quite an adventure.

Right on ,,,, Keep up the good work ..
Nice Bear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whether it scores high or not-to me you did a fine job in getting and successfully downing a nice speciman!

I,ve mentioned this often enough that there is big bears apart from the coastal breed. Good job!

Good on ya!!!! Great bear. What were you using as far as gun and ammo?

Have a great rest of your trip.

The claws on that big boy are huge! Congrats.

BTW, I was outside of Slana hunting a couple of weeks ago and came across it's sister. I was all ready to take a shot when two cubs popped up...
Maybe next year!

Congrats on a great bear!!

J,

Fantastic bear! This my first post coming out of the bush. Still in Anchorage, trying to get home to Salt Lake City. If you recall, we hunted w/ Brian Simpson, north of you. Brian speaks quite well of your brother. My best friend shot a beautiful 8-1/2 footer which missed the book by 1/16". I on the other hand never had an opp to get my bear but I did shoot a 62" moose @ 15!!!!!! yds w/ my Ruger BH 45 LC. Details to come later when I can upload the pics from my cameras SD card. Have to head out to the airport asap.

SWEET!

I posted the details about this hunt in the American Big Game Hunting section of this site. Enjoy.

J,

Here is the boar my buddy shot.

Nice Bear! That must have been fun getting that close to your Moose. Lot's of work once their down huh!

I posted my moose story over in the handgun hunting section. My first 3 days hunting I personally took part in the butchering and movement to camp of 3 moose. Talk about baptisim by fire.

More like baptism by sweat!

Way to go.....

Nice bears I shot a 8' squared grizzly in the interior of BC June 1 this year.

Skull measures 24 1/16" which is fairly big for an interior grizzly.

Great bears! Congrats. I'll be looking for those details.

That big boy looks like a Brown Bear! Great job on a super nice interior!!
