Nice! And brought them out whole!!!

Great hunt HFT-
Hides must be nice.

av we have one of those skidko's, the new version of the Army litter. Made out of UMV it is pretty slick Both of them bears were about 2/3 hundred yds from the boat easy movement on the tidal flats.

Boco Those hides were pristine. The bears were just waking up

Good story and hunt! Thanks for sharing!

Not the biggest bear in the woods but it will put burgers on the grill



I have not gotten a hit this season. Every three days I check the bait and sit a little and do a burn. Walked in tonight, no hit. Set up a burn Baitem 907 Jelly Donut and climbed in the stand.

That was about 7pm. Around 930 I decided to pack things up and head to the house. Had just turned the Thermacell off when I heard a stick break off to my right. I decided to wait a little more and 5 minutes later saw a flash of black in the thicket.

Didnt have a clear shot so I waited. The bear tried to circle behind me but the blown downed spruce trees prevented that. It had no choice but to circle right in front of me. Lights out

Got 10 more days for a brownie to walk by......

Be safe out there guys!

Congratulations on a successful hunt ! I hope a brownie stops by for a extended stay as well !

Glad you connected!

Way to go! Glad you got one!

Did a little run with Ted down to Valdez to chase halibut, had a blast an caught a few



The view at Thompson Pass never gets old.



The smoke from all the fires made it up to TOK. Made for a pretty sunset.



Be safe out there guys!

NICE FISH! Long run for Ted, and you as well. Worth it, I'm sure.
Great pictures.

av Very much worth it Good company and awesome conversation

Well got invited down to a friends fish camp for a little set netting. Never done it before and they wanted someone that could run a boat so spent 3 days down on the Kasilof chasing reds. Couldn't ask for nicer weather!



The sunset for summer solstice was excellent



Of course I got to limit out it Even though they limited the fishing from 11am to 5pm we managed to get a few



I been worried this year about the ducks. Normally around June 7 they show up on my pond. Tonight when I got home I glanced down there and sure enough saw a few swimming around Was also greeted by a new baby goat and some baby bunnies



Be safe out there guys!

Nice! Miss that set netting.

Well fish and game opened brown bear season in the unit I hunt to no closed season. To many bears and not enough moose. Tonight I harvested a big old boar and hopefully saved a few moose

I am grateful for the friends I have. I made 2 phone calls at midnight and had 2 buddies come and help me get this toad out. That was a chore! Gonna be alot of burger and brats in the freezer
