beautiful country up there. A cold winter made the Bears slow to rise. Only 2 of 8 tags filled at the lodge. Prime coat on him and first animal taken with a .375 H&H bolt gun I built several years back. A boat based hunt and we did not use a guide.

Nice! Hope it was as enjoyable as it was successful.

It was indeed. Good times with great friends in beautiful places. Hard to beat it. Here are a few more pictures.

Awesome photos indeed! Thanks for showing them.

How long ago was the sea otter photo and do you know how the population is doing there today?

Photos were taken within the past week. We saw Sea Otters everywhere.....I was really surprised at the numbers.

That's a real dream trip! And being successful on the hunt is icing on the cake!

Beautiful photo, nice black bear.

Well done, well done
Thank you for sharing

Great pics Steve. Looks like a great time. The inland pics remind me of when I was steelhead fishing on Haida Gwai.

A memorable hunt to be sure, congratulations on the bear!

Lovely pictures, nice bear. Is there anything the .375 can't do ?

congratulations Steve, Way to go!!!
