Great story and storytelling.  You need to change your handle to 'iceman' or 'cool hand luke' though!

Yes, the ring seal is food but mainly for the dogs. the inuit say that eating the iron rich seal meat causes you to stay warm better than eating fish, and whale and raven.

Just 2cents. . . if you wanted, you could edit the pics for color etc.  I also think that some of them in Black/white could be quite impressive.  Ask tradgang member Jerry Gowins (I am sure there are others too).  

Again- congrats on an amazing experience.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

What an amazing story. Its a cryin shame you can't bring such an ultimate trophy back into the US. It got me wondering about a couple things.

One of the big points the global warming alarmists keep throwing out is that it is allegedly resulting in the demise of polar bear populations?  Sure doesnt look like any shortage of ice up there to me.

While you were on this hunt, what did the Inuits have to say about the population of the bears?

The animal rights idiots have obviously placed enough political pressure (money) on the politcians to again bloc k importation of these trophies back into the US.

What does it  take to put an end to this kind of mindless decision? And worse, what's next? All bears?

Thank you for sharing such an incredible story and adventure. Please post a slideshow of more of your pics when you get home and settled back in .

I'm sure Fred Bear is smiling.....

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Wow, what an awesome hunt. Had me on the edge of my seat. Lucky nobody got killed, especially with the jammed firearm. While I was reading, I could picture the whole scene. Unbelievable. Congrats! What a hunt!   :notworthy:

I think this is the third story where the gun is jammed or not functioning while on a bear hunt.  Tim Wells shot a grizzly in the head dropped it and found out later the back up rifle was jammed.  I can't remember what the deal with Chuck Adams back up rifle was other than I know that is was very small caliber maybe a 243.  Did I read that right a jammed 22-250 holy cow.  Good for you.  I know you did not want to have to use the back up but that small caliber had to be in the back of your mind.

Bryce,
Congratulations on a wonderful and successful hunt.  

A 9'2" polar bear is a HONKER of a bear!  Very, very well done. I hope you can bring him back into the US some day.
