Thanks for posting Ripp.
A mate is going back for his third attempt to get a Brown bear in Alaska.
For that money he has spent I could do 2 Cull Elephant hunts. He wants his bear. Mind you a brown bear hunt in Eastern Russia/Siberia might eventuate.
I'm that mate of Rule 303's who took 3 hunts to get my Brownie. Of all my hunts ...and this is a big call. it is my most memorable.. If I only had one hunt left in me it would be another Brown Bear hunt.
Cheers
Rod
My only hunt up there for bear happened after I had done a self-guided caribou hunt.. shot 2 caribou and a wolf the first two days I was able to hunt.. put out my tarp to let the plane know I was done.. got offered a brown bear cancellation hunt when they picked me up.. as it was right after 9-11, people were scared to fly. Two days later I killed a 9ft brown bear.. NOT a monster, but not small either..average..but man was I happy.. great adventure, scenery, was my first time in Alaska.. cool fall days.. all nice weather (which is really unusual).. and all done in 5 days.. doesn't get much better than that..
