Art Young of "Pope & Young" 1926 hunt across ALASKA. These men are in their early to mid 40's Remember this was 97 YEARS AGO, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RXXg37QJxY ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila). | ||

Wow what country and what men! One of my favorite books is the "Last of the great brown bear men"   Those are bears! Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

mr. chuck375: thanks for showing the picture of pinnell and talifson. Did an article on their M70 .375s for sports afield a few years ago. Got to handle and shoot Morris's .375. Probably one of the most experienced brown bear rifles on the planet. I have a good friend who worked for them when he was a young man: he's got lots of P&T stories. Last spring my son and I hunted about 20 miles from P&Ts Olga Bay camp. P&T-two of most historic outfitters ever. | |||

This is a swell thread. I hope Mr. Shoemaker comes along soon. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I am sure that was a great time, and , as AK F&G records show, the Bear hunting on Kodiak is still every bit as good!
