I been fortunate to visit McNeil River sanctuary four separate times to photograph brown bears. One trip we counted 68 bears in view at the same time. Some true monsters were among them. When you spend 8-9 hours a day, day after day, you can see the small differences in their appearance to identify them. Some of the large boars most likely were at least 11 footers. The other bears wouldn’t even walk on the same path they were on. Good hunting there. But you need to know the line.
ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
