Good story, really good story I mean and great pics. Sucks about the other outfitter trying to play games but kudos on pulling off a good bear and hunt.


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

What a Dick..

Great hunt Art. I can't wait to get back there.


While he did do a few things that limited our options he did not change our basic plan and we did get to put a couple over on him, while killing the biggest bear of the year in there. He had several hunters that did not have a bear on the last day... I do not know if they got bears on the last day though...

You have to wait a few years... Riley has the unit between Uganik and yours for this coming spring. That should be a good one.

If I "let" an A-Bort on the boat again, why wouldn't I "let" Partitions on the boat? I just have this goofy idea that bears with two holes per bullet bleed more than bears with one... wink

The bear was kind of a pinhead because he was very young for his size. Bio suggested 7-8 years old and also said the head would probably never grow into the body.

Excellent story. Well worth the read. Great pics too.

Guides think they own their area. Sometimes they just need to be smacked.

Seems lots of guides had a tough year on Kodiak between the deep snow and the rubbed bears... Funny how guys can go to Africa and kill an average of a couple head per day and wonder why they need more than a week to kill a single brown bear...

Please do not consider my comments as suggesting Rohrer broke laws... he stayed on the legal side of things and we did, too. We just had the better set-up for the best section of the hunt area...

Excellent read and a great bear for the hunter. Art, what was the cartridge and bullets used?
Don't be bashful - send us a few more photos.

Jeff was shooting a Kimber 8400 in 338WM with a Conquest and I was shooting a 700 in 375AI with a Vortex 1-4 scope. Jeff was not shooting a 375 A-Bort because it failed him...

We were both shooting my reloads. Jeff was using 225gr TSX and I was using 270gr XFBs.

The bear was about as far away from Port O'Brien as yours, just on the opposite side... And there was about as much shooting! wink

Nope. It's only illegal to bait brown bears, not brown bear hunters. grin

Yeah, I have a few years to save up my pennies.. unless a pard draws and I get the nod.

Good luck to Riley. Man I can't wait to get back.
