Alaska brown bear season….updated as season progresses

We had a bear that we were unable to recover this week. That’s always a rough deal, hunting brown bears over bait is intense when it comes to shots. Imagine sitting half asleep all night, your head bobs in tiredness and you look up and it’s time!! It takes a half a second to go from zero to 200! It’s crazy and sometimes guys don’t get the best shots on the bear.
We have some great bears still showing up on camera. Two clients headed out this week!

Yep we lost a brown bear too this spring. You’ve always been transparent which is refreshing in our industry. Losing animals sucks but it does happen. Thanks for sharing your season with us!
 
I have two clients left. Today I took off in the plane from one camp to help find the last bear. As I hit the throttle to blow outa there the client and guide said the monster boar we had been waiting for stepped out, saw the plane and left. Uhg. My heart dropped when I heard!!! Five minutes and we wouldn’t had a great bear down!!! That’s the way it goes, hoping and praying he shows back up for the guy!!
 
First client of the season has come and gone. Baits are getting worked over fairly well. Three baits currently going and one is running 2-3 bags of dog food a night so I’m busy flying.

Clients bear approx 25” skull and a shade under 9’ is my guess. I never put a tape on it.View attachment 881758
