Peninsula Bear expectations

[Rwolf]

I'm going on my first peninsula brown bear hunt this spring. What are legitimate expectations on a size bear you would hold out for? I'm not looking for a BC bear and I'm also not just looking for "a" bear. What size would you suggest holding out for or shooting? I also do not want to go home empty handed holding out for an unrealistic expectation.

I’ve guided 30 years for brown bears in Alaska. Somehow I’m still stumped and why it matters what other people think of your investment. Shoot whatever you like. The only time size matters is when you tell the story to someone else.
“Went to Ak shot a bear”
“How big was it?” It’s never did you have fun? Was it worth it? Etc.
size is just a number that never really tells the story or shares the adventure.

If you’re asking what size is available the answer is 6’-12’. What’s a good size mature boar?…9’. What’s a monster? Anything over 10’. What are you more likely to have a chance at. 8’ plus.

I tell guys. If you see one you like. Shoot it. Don’t shoot it cause I gave it a number.
