Yes......hundred years ago. There was an 11'-3" taken on Karluk Lake in spring of 81' We watched him the fall of 1980 he came up out of Ulga Bay and crossed the outlet of O'Malley Lake and straight up and over to Karluk Valley, and he was pushing four feet of snow. We thought he would roll back down the mountain. AAA Guides and Outfitters has a small pocket of private/corporate land they pay a lot of money to guide a very few hunters on. Lots of huge bears there, but not open to public hunting. It will therefore continue to produce super high quality bears for decades. 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).

John_Havard Campfire Regular Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 2,083 Kitsap Peninsula, WA	Originally Posted by jwp475 That's a huge bear, I wonder what he weighed In the spring he'd be down several hundred pounds from his fall/hibernation weight. As a guess, a boar that size could weigh 1500-1700 pounds in his prime just before denning up. So maybe 1100# in the photo? In any event, that's a LOT of bear.

Regardless of when it was shot it’s a beast and something that I dream of someday hunting. 👍 �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.
