Trophy Alaskan Brown Bear, Grizzly Bear, Russian Brown Bear & Polar Bear Hunts

John Andre with an Alaskan Brown Bear and two Grizzlies. The grizzlies were big bears.The Alaskan Brown Bear was about 8 feet, but the outfitter knew how to take a good picture. The grizzlies were both about 9 feet, and were exceptional bears for British Columbia.
Hunting these big and dangerous bears is one of the ultimate thrills for the sportsman. Having been an outfitter in the Northwest Territories for many years, I have had more than my fair share of grizzly encounters, having shot 20 or so at close range with assorted rubber bullets, bear bangers, etc. Fortunately, they all ran the other way. Alaska, the Yukon and British Columbia all have lots of bears. If they ever open the NWT or Wyoming, jump on the chance to hunt there as well. As bear hunting is becoming more and more a target of the anti-hunting crowd, so I suggest you move grizzly bear hunting to the front burner before it is too late.
