The American Beagler Forum

I was fortunate to draw a tag this Fall for a Brown bear hunt in Alaska. The trip was a blast, one of my brothers has been guiding in AK for 7-8 years so I was super prepared for what was to come. We really enjoyed our time afield, had a bunch of good laughs, some tough hikes, COLD & WET weather, but dang it was the most fun I've ever had! Back to the grind so I can do it again, man it's addicting!

Anyone interested in Brown bear hunting in AK, let me know, Will & Mike def. know what they're doing & I HIGHLY recommend them!

Lee Neal's/Big Timber's Lady L, what an awesome transporter!

Same pic, different day after it "warmed" up


An eagle perched on this rock outcropping. There was a large sow stuck on the rock face about 150 yds. from this eagle, we watched her for 30 min. before motoring off. When we came back by a few hrs. later, she was still there. The tide was at +26' that day so we figured she came in and got pushed up where she got stuck.


The bruin!

That's stuff memories are made of. Congrats....!!!!!! Deerhost

Very nice man. Love to do that one day.

What a trip of a life time!
My ole bones couldn't take that anymore, you boys are tough.
Beautiful pics of the last wild frontier...

Glad i don't run dogs in an area with these things! I thought the post about the coyotes running the dogs back to the guys feet was enough to make the hair stand up on your neck! Nice bear and for sure, I would say a trip for all times. I had money saved years ago to go on a trip and then meet a young lady. Next thing i know is my bear hunt was on her finger! What was I thinking.

What beautiful pictures! Thank you for sharing them. If you don't mind me asking, where in Alaska were you.

That looks Awsome! Thanks for sharing.
