Here are some pics from my recent Southwest Alaska Coastal Brown Bear hunt. I hunted with Outfitter Justin Johns. I went with 2 other buddies and we went 3 for 3. Flew into Dillingham and then took a float plane back into the Togiak Refuge. I hunted along the coast of the Bering Sea. Had a great trip. It was a little slow at first but once we got a shooter located the hunt/stalk was a blast. Definitely exciting. Comfortable accommodations and food for sure. I used a 300 RUM with the Barnes 200gr LRX bullet. It was a last minute change after my .375 H&H got screwy. It worked great. I used a Paradox pack and it performed well and I'd like to thank Nathan and Kevin for that. Nice lightweight, strong, comfortable pack for my body type. I also used an Iridium GO! satellite wifi device and it worked great. I was very pleased with the performance of it. I'll post more info on that in another thread.

Great looking trophy! Did you pop him in the noggin? I did shoot the bear in the head/neck. Bear was about to run and the game was up for us. Shoot now or miss your chance. All I could see what head/neck facing me. Tucked it under the chin and dropped it right there. Thanks for all the replies guys! Lee
