When it’s time to go, it’s time to go.
Supporting Information
Our pick-up morning begins, like every day we’ve experienced
this hunt and like the ride out, the plane ride back to Kodiak is
filled with sunshine, clear blue skies and beautiful scenery.
Unit 9 RB370 Hunting Requirements and Conditions:
As I sit back with Roland at the helm, I have plenty of time to
reflect back on our hunt and even though m y bear tag filled count
= 0, if helping a good friend take his first brown bear, spending
time with Mr.s. Ruth on the Alaska Peninsula and ten days of
great weather does not add up to a trip of a lifetime. Well then, I
guess my calculator must be broken!
If there’s one sure thing in the world that you can bet your 401k
on, it’s that if the Good Lord is willing, we’ll be back come the fall
of 2015.
Seeeeee Yaaaaa! Louis A. Cusack

Brown/Grizzly Bear Hunting in Alaska
Alaska has an estimated 30,000 brown bears state-wide. In
2007, about 1,900 brown bears were harvested in Alaska. Of
that figure, about 700 were taken by Alaskan residents and
roughly 1,200 (or 67 percent) were taken by non-residents. Bear
hunting seasons are held in both spring and fall in some areas
but only in fall in other areas. It is illegal to kill cubs and females
with offspring. Non-resident brown bear hunters are required to
have a guide or be accompanied by an Alaska resident who is a
relative.
Brown and grizzly bears are classified as the same species,
Ursus arctos. Brown bears on Kodiak Island are classified as a
distinct subspecies from those on the mainland because they
are genetically and physically isolated. The term “brown bear”
commonly refers to animals found in coastal areas, and brown
bears found inland and in northern habitats are often called
“grizzlies. Like black bears, brown bears vary widely in color.
Brown bears can range from dark brown through light blond.
