Many hunts under my belt. No kills. Kodiak brown bear hunting is an adrenaline rush the likes of which has not been equaled in my life.
Played back-up for a good buddy with a longbow. He stood on glare ice in his stocking feet for 45 minutes with a bear as close as 27 yards. He had set his shooting limit at 23 yards. For a significant part of the time he was at some level of draw. Bear finally walked away. That felt a bit more hairy than most Kodiak hunts I have done.
