Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Brown Bear photo's

I was hoping some of you guys that have taken brown bears would post some pic's. Looking for any picture really but interesting angles or shots of the paws or head would be great. Setting up the picture properly can make or break the enjoyment of looking at it later. Any tips would be great.
I will be flying out to Kodiak in 3 weeks so am getting pretty excited to get going. Thanks Dean

Dead Bear.
168 TSX
Kodiak Island, Spring 2010

Grizzlykid. What case launched your 168 tsx? How di it perform. Obviously well enough!!
I can imagine browm bears are not something a guy can drag around and reposition much. Maybe roll it over and thats about it!!

Salmonella, Like that first one white claws and dark paws. Other bear looks huge. Big hump on him. Kodiak bear?

WOW, That picture is awesome good color, huge head, great fur!!! What more could a guy hope for.

The truly big bears are.....er, bruteaful (and don't need "helpful" poses).

This one wasn't a large bear, but I like the pic, only in part because of the (helpful) pose.



Mostly, I like it 'cause my trusty young partners, ages 6 and 8 here, made the 3/4 mile trek and stalk in order to get to make the shots, both for IMR and for Kodak.

Don't forget, in the excitement of the moment, that the memories that the pictures reflect, involve all parties, and that getting them properly recorded will be valued later on. (And you'll never again be as young and handsome as you are now! )

I've never been young enough to be handsome.

'Twas an attempt to put a positive spin on, "You're only going to go the other direction." (Man, I hate to hear people tell my older son that "he looks just like his dad".. ....poor kid!)

Here you can see how large the claws are. The finger pads are as large around as a man's wrists



Here is another large bear showing the overall mass and size of head

.300 WBY
Both bullets gained weight...

Very cool pics

eyeguy....say, if you dont mind me askin....what hunt number or permit number are you hunting this month?....I myself am planning a kodiak hunt for 2012 on Frazer Lake DB242....finally after nearly 15+ years of applications, I finally drew...

Keep me informed brother.....Im excited for you!!!

AKBuilt, get the south Frazer cabin if you can, you won't regret it.

Same here, people seem to think it'll make me feel prouder or something but if it's true I feel sorry for the kids.

I drew unit 8. It it west of Kodiak proper.
Thanks for all the pictures so far, keep them coming. Last year somebody on 24 hour took big brown on the beach it was a amazing bear and picture. Tried to search it but couldnt find the thread. dean

Dean-
Best of luck to you - the anticipation is likely killing you.
As for the backdrop and getting the shot right - you're at the mercy of where he drops.

Jiminy Xmas, that's a pumpkin head.
