Thread: Alaska Trip 2012

Awesome trip, awesome write up.
Would have the bear succumbed to the first shot? Lingering death?
Is that it or are you going back?
Those wide open spaces.
55 yards. Bit close to have a biting variety and only four shot mag.

Yes bear would have succumbed to the first shot. As the guide said though "we aren't keeping the meat and the taxidermist will sew up the holes. If it's still moving you are still shooting".

Looks like we are going back for a holiday next year. Also this looks pretty cool:
Alaska Winter Predator Hunting

Funny you mention the 4 shot mag there is a story with that as well, lets just say that i did have more ammunition "with me" but the bulk of my ammunition was a good 400 yards uphill run away with the day pack
