Just got in the door from my mentor/hunting partner/great friend's house. He and our other friend are hitting the road first thing in the morning and driving up to Anchorage, AK.
From there, they will get on a float plane and fly 2 hrs south to a wall tent an spend up to 15 days hunting Brown Bears!
They stumbled into this hunt half price due to cancellations 9 days ago, so it's been quite the scramble needless to say.
We sat back, had a beer and spent 2 hours telling hunting stories that we've re-lived 100 times, and enjoyed them like it was the first telling! Cool evening!
I wish the boys the best of luck, and they will not be back until probably the end of May or early June. Our other buddy just got in tonight from Kodiac, and he ended up taking an 8.5' with a rifle after hunting hard with his bow, but the conditions and weather really conspired against him. He is the one that gave the guys the 'heads up' on the opportunity.
Man, I'm so excited for them that it's crazy! I wish it was me, but frankly, I can't think of two other people that have spent their lives working their azzes off to get in the position to take advantage (barely) of a hunt like this. I wish them all the best, and I'll keep y'all updated and pics WILL be posted! Good luck guys and be safe!

Good Luck My Friend!
