Marco, Nice story ! Makes me jealous also. I have taken a couple of spring bear back when Ontario, would allow spring baiting back in the 1980's. Mine were taken a close range with a bow and arrow from a tree stand over bait. Mine were really good eating and I use to cook bear burgers and friends would never now they weren't beef.
I hope some day to visit AK and at least do some fishing but hunting would be even better.
Must be great to be able to hunt with your son.

You could always come fishing with me Mr. jedman... all it takes is a plane ticket.. I would put you up...

Mark, Thanks so much for the generous offer, ( the second time ). I would love to come and could afford it but due to some health concerns don't see it happening. For more than any other reason I would like to see the different way of life you must have and love living on a small island in AK.
I have a nephew that's in his 40's and him and a friend went sea duck hunting a few years ago in Alaska. Where they went to hunt was a small island off the mainland and it took a sea plane to get to. They both said it was a dream trip and the scenery and the remoteness was the greatest part.
I am really close to my nephew because he had a insatiable desire to hunt and fish from A very young age and comes from a family that doesn't do either. He and I bonded when he was a young kid and did a lot together hunting and fishing and now he owns his own business and takes world class hunting and fishing trips yearly. He still invites me to go on some of his adventures but my old body just isn't what it once was and I have to decline but sure like to hear about them and see pics.
Thanks Again ! Jedman
Fantastic story and a classic caliber. Look forward to hearing more about the bear processing
Surprised no one has asked to see what the "mystery bullet" is!

Yea, no kidding.. just as fast, eats just as much or more, and might just be inclined to hunt you...

Good story and congratulations . And to think how many still think you need a "magnum" whatever to kill a black bear .
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
Yep... it is what a bear looks like without clothes.

Congrats on the spring bear. I sure do miss Southeast Alaska.
Saw 5 different bears yesterday while steelheading.. all males and eaters.. 2-3 year olds. Looks like it is gunna be a short season for my family this year. These bears weren’t on the river, were all seen grazing on spring fresh grass on the sides of the trails and such

Tried black bear several times no thanks. Hides and skulls good enough.
