Jim if there is a next time for a bear hunt, go up to the bear and poke it with a stick. When the bear starts chasing you run to the boat or lodge and then shoot it. That way you won't have to carry it so far. :shock: On second thought maybe you did it right. Has your heart beat slowed down yet.
Here's a pic of the bear a fellow New Jerseyite killed on Kodiak. I met this guy at the airport in Kodiak and shared a day of halibut fishing with him before we headed to our respective bear camps.
Man those bears are huge!! I guess my .451 White wouldn't be up to par for that kind of hunt, looks like I just may have to get me a .504 White to hunt those bears????
