Into the lair of the brown bear

[chinook907]

If the above pic doesn't give you the heevy-jeevies, you might not know what you're looking at (a tight little stream with spawning salmon and bear trails everywhere thru the thick stuff).  But if you have it in you to go after these guys the pic might give you a smile and warm your heart a bit.

Just got back from most of a week going after brown bears.  It was fairly epic, but all we saw was sows & cubs and small ones.  Not sure if the flooding or low numbers of salmon moved the big guys off, but they weren't there.

Not sure if this worth telling but I like posting pics.

I've got lots more but have to sort out how to tell it.  Here's a trail pic in a relatively open area.  More later.

Brings me right back to the first time I walked with my dad in brown bear country on the Kenai Peninsula without knowing what the %^&! we were doing. Stream bank absolutely littered with salmon carcasses, head-high grass and lots of odd little trails ...  Thanks for jogging my memory!

Cool pics! It would be really neat to hunt an animal like that.
