I will do a detailed post later with lots of photos.

The size of these coastal bears that feed on salmon is unreal. They don't look like bears. They look like tanks standing on the mountain.

We were after them after the salmon run, when they are eating wild blueberries on the mountain slopes.


My spring black bear from SE Alaska (a boat based hunt out of Sitka), that weighed around 500+ lbs. It "squared out" at 7'2", without stretching!!! I used a .300 Winchester Magnum Remington with 200 grain "Trophy Bonded Bear Claw" bullets. After seeing how tough these are, I'd NEVER hunt these using spot and stalk methods and a handgun.
