That being said, I hope you enjoy John’s story about a great bear.American black bear head, Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardenĭespite living in North America, American black bears are not closely related to brown bears and polar bears genetic studies reveal that they split from a common ancestor 5.05 million years ago (mya). To this day I still don’t understand that.
I even hunted in AAA’s areas on two of my hunts. Four 10 foot brown bears our first five years in business and I wasn’t hunting any differently than I did my last four personal hunts. Then Brent and I formed AAA Alaska Outfitters and I guided on a 10’+ brown bear the first three springs and the fall of ’89. What I find so aggravating about hunting for a 10’ bear is I hunted brown bear for myself eight different times and never killed a 10’ bear. That’s the rifle where I had the stock cut down for my wife. 270 Remington Model 700 mountain rifle from the FNAWS Association for guiding the hunter on “The Outstanding Animal of the Year” for 1988. It was also the largest bear taken by a guided hunter in 1988 and received the first place award from Safari Club International, scoring 29 5/16 SCI points. This bear was and still is the largest bear that I have ever guided on. The story was published in the Alaska Professional Hunters Magazine in March, 1989. I’m posting a story written by one of my clients, John Bermen.
Tagged: Cold Bay bear hunting, Brown Bear hunting I hope you enjoy Dave’s memories of his brown bear hunt. I personally think it is a waste of tax payers’ money. We tried to stay out of it because we were paying the King Cove Native Corporation to hunt on their land. It’s been a political hot potato for at least the last twenty years. They are doing this in the name of medical emergencies, spending millions of dollars. King Cove is no different than any other small village in Alaska without an all-weather airport. The area where the photos in the story were taken where Dave shot his bear and where Dave and Dan were spotting from is now a parking area for the heavy equipment used in the road construction. Randy’s brown bear was the largest bear killed in 26 years and was tied for the SCI World Record with a skull size of 30 5/16”.įor those of you familiar with the saga of the road from King Cove to Cold Bay through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge they have already constructed part of it. That included our first bear, a 10’10” taken by George Caswell in 1984 and the 11’3” that Dan had guided Randy Cain to in ’92. This bear was taken within one-half mile of where three other 10’ plus bears had been shot. It was one of the many 10’ plus bears that AAA harvested in our Cold Bay area. He took his beautiful brown bear in the spring of 1994 and his story was printed in The Alaska Professional Hunter Magazine in the spring of 1997. The following article was written by my hunter Dr.
