man oh man, that looks exciting! deffinently a dream of mine since about 14! Want to hunt a brown bear with my bow! Good luck! I hope you get him! wow those tracks are gonna haunt my memory! thanks for sharing!
Selfish SOB, bowhunting for brown bear and mountain goat before fulfilling your obligation to chase a 75" P&Y deer species for an online forum contest! The audacity!
So today I stalked down this creek hoping to run into him. As you can see it'd be a close shot. While I was in one creek looking for him, he was in the next creek over looking for fish. We need to coordinate our schedules better. This evening I did some calling and this is the only predator I was able to get to show up. We're having a big dump of snow tonight. Tomorrow will have fresh tracks to hunt down...
Rob , after our chat on Friday , I'm convinced you're doing everything to hunt this Badboy down . Here's wishing you Good Luck in finding him before the end of season , hunt hard Buddy . Keep them pictures coming , they are amazing .
This is an awesome thread and will be following it intently. Good luck getting him, it sounds like you are not far behind him. That snow camo is awesome also.
The snow mixed with rain this morning and made everything a miserably sloppy mess. I still got in there early with another friend and we covered both creeks this time. Some slob hunters showed up late and came traipsing through my set-up with noisy snow shoes (in 5" of snow?!) and rubber ponchos. I could see them from 3/4 of a mile and hear them from 150 yards off after they went past me and followed my friend's tracks right in to his set busting his morning hunt too. I can't believe the inconsiderate nerve of some people!! They were even told by another friend of ours that ran into them in the parking lot that we were in there and what we were up to. I'm not one for crying foul but if any of you ever plan to come to Kodiak, stay clear of Fred O'Hearn with Lucky Hook Charters. He's got a bad reputation as a bear guide for pulling just this kind of BS. They were even in the same spot last year lobbing shots at a big bear from over 1000 yards, with a friend of mine between them and the bear! Sorry for the vent. These type of "hunters" just torque me off.
See Rob here in the midwest when we see a old and broke down combine or john deere we steer clear cause there is a 97% chance there is a hunter in there!!!!!!! Repect the DEERE!!!!!!! You alaskans can learn somethin from us hillbilly rednecks!!!!!! Best of luck to you on your quest for this monster Bear, if you get him you have earned him!!!!!!!!!
Did the wonderful people acknowledge you as they came by? Pretty sure that confirms it.....there are DAs everywhere!!
Sounds like some serious hunting. Wish I had the chance to do that around here. Good luck on that big hoss!!
