    How do grizzly bears taste?

    I've tried some meat from a couple freshly killed spring (no salmon around yet) coastal brown bears. Very very tough, and both had a mild grassy taste, which is likely what they were eating.

    Bear in April

    You may see some bears, but yes that is early. And BTW, Homer is not part of Southeast Alaska.

    Spare pistol or not in the back country, a modest proposal.

    Depends. How many rifles are you carrying ? No joke. Years ago a guy I knew who was new to the State showed me a pic from a recent hunting trip. I asked him what all the guns he was carrying in the pic were for ? He looked at me like I was the dumbest guy on the planet and said "The rifle...

    Seal Finger / Bear Finger....A Cautionary Tale.

    Sorry to hear that Josh. Another friend got bear finger maybe 5 years ago after skinning a big AK Penn bear that had been fighting, with lots of facial wounds. For him, the docs figured it out quicker but still the treatment and recovery took a long time.

    How to find an Air Taxi on Floats

    I believe Willow Air does. Also, call the ADF&G office in McGrath and they should have some contacts for you.

    Best bear outfitters/state

    They are outside of your price range but you should at least talk to Glacier Guides Inc. in Southeast Alaska. They operate out of 80' yachts, chef cooked meals, and kill lots of giant black bears. Every aspect of their operation is dialed-in. Spot n stalk.

    Ice/snow comparison between rifles

    Only time I've had a bolt rifle fail was with spindrift while riding a snogo in deep powder, 5-15 degrees F, rifle slung crossways on my back. Model 700 in 6mm Rem. Took awhile to get the bolt working and able to close the chamber on a round. Almost cost me a wolf. I like this test BTW, thanks.

    Alaska for a month

    I'd go more into July for the fishing. And skip Fairbanks. Instead drive Valdez to Paxson, over to Cantwell, see "the Park" (McKinley is personal preference), and eventually get to Homer.

    $15,000 Reward for Missing Haul Road Hunter Steve Keel - OP updated to show locations

    Yeah this is yet another weird missing person case up here. I remember this missing musher case from the Tustumena 200 about 20 years ago. A friend was the race marshall and I helped him check the course just before the race started, and a couple days later helped look for the musher when he...
