Default better brown bear pic
I went from one extreme to the other on the picture upload but I think this will work. I was on Chichagof Island west of Juneau. My brother-in-law is a guide, you may have seen him in a Sierra Bullet advertisement in some hunting magazines in recent years, anyway we saw lots of bears although none as big as this one on the last day of the hunt. My patience paid off on truely a hunt of a lifetime.It measured 8'6" from nose to tail and my 300 Win Mag with 200gr. Nosler partition handloads absolutely hammered it. I have yet to decide on a taxidermist-- any recommendations would be great.
