Sorry to hear you didn't connect on a bruin this trip, Ed! That always sucks, but it's happened to any/all of us.
You pay your money for such a trip not to kill an animal, but to hunt that animal. Hunting and getting aren't the same thing. I know you know that, not tryin' to preach at ya... just for some reason I'm thinkin' this morning of all the elk tag soup I've had to choke down...

No bear taken, but I'll bet you treasure the memory of those storms...

SE Alaska offered steady rain including two storms . . . Sorry about that weather Ed, the first part of May really sucked. I made it out on the boat this past weekend as was able to make the first trip of the year to our cabin (betwixt Juneau and Petersburg). Three back-to-back-to-back days of clear skies and record breaking temps. We had a 7-7.5 footer walk by the first night right at sunset. Had to run him off with the .44 before he caused any trouble - I didn't want a "holy" inflatable raft.

Appreciate the replies gents. I knew what could be ahead and so it turned. When I returned home my youngest said, "so you didn't score for the first time in how many hunts?". He then wanted the details of each stalk. It was more than good.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
