This turned into quite the deal and a lot more publicity is coming, the story will be in at least two magazines.

Grand Slam

I'm a coues and a Sitka deer away from completing my NA bow deer slam. Lot of people have no idea the work that goes into these things

Congrats on the slam. Great accomplishment.
What outfitter were you using in the duck mountains?

Careful it doesn't turn into a "Clarence the Lion" or Black Giraffe thing in the libtard media.

Nice critter. Question Bernie. Why no mention of a blue bear in the article ?

Good question. The Kermode bear and glacier bears are out of the reach of most hunters and not one of the four major color phases. I would love to get those as well, but I doubt if that will ever happen.

Pretty cool critters. I have seen two killed off the same sand bar....about 5 years apart. They seem to be more prevalent in SE AK

That'a the only place they are found; in a very small area.

That's what surprised me about the two killed here. I am about 7-800 miles north of that area...about 6 degrees of latitude

Interesting. I plan on looking into these more so I can learn more about location and hunting them.

That was so interesting. Nice job! I never realized there were 4 color phases. I thought only 3, black, cinnamon, and blonde.

Congratulations and thanks for putting it on Trapperman for all of us to see.
