Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Field Judging Caribou/Grizzly

Don
A couple friends floated the Kobuk a few years back.They
saw a few grizz.They have a neat video of one that was too
brazen for me.Came up to them popping his teeth and slapping the ground.It is a cool video.

I kinda like the mt grizz.I saw a beautiful silver tipped in the
AK range...But it was a sow with cubs.We saw the cubs first
and I would had called them big,til we saw her come into view.
She made them look half sized.

Hope you kill a hog.

docdb,

There is a flim available called "Take a closer Look" that is helpful with judging bears, sexing, size and age to some extent. I was available several years back from the Yukon Fish & Game dept. . I learned of it from Phil Shoemaker, and he wrote of it in the APHA mag. I dont have my copy any longer my guide has it and uses it for his hunters, but maybe you can find one. It was time well spent. The tape mostly deals with coastal bears, but I think it would still be a help. The ears issue mentioned prior is good advise from what I have seen of live bears.

HBH,
Thanks, I'll try to find that.
