SUCCESSFUL Alaska Black Bear hunt and Halibut Fishing

[kylemg0009]

Got back yesterday from my Alaska trip. All I can say is wow. I realize how lucky I am that for my first big game hunt, I got to go to Alaska. We filled both black bear tags and hit a daily halibut limit 4 days in a row. The hunting got stressful as there was emergency order to end black bear hunting. I was able to harvest mine 30 minutes before the end of the season. My buddy was able to get his a few days earlier. A lot of amazing stories behind all the photos listed below. the Bald Eagle perched up on that Flag pole on Memorial Day which was a site to be seen. Both the hunting and fishing were done out of the small town of Seldovia, AK.

We were able to travel back with around 200lbs of halibut all together. All bear meet was donated to our host's neighbors. Both bear hides are currently at a taxidermist for tanning.

Great hunt! Congrats! What's with no black bear hunting in AK?!?! Did I read that right?

That just shows me how much more I want to go to Alaska, haha. Nice hunt and catch Kyle.

Bonejour, from what I understood is that they were closing the spring season a couple weeks early, they might have met the quota for bears taken in that Unit. That would make the most sense.

We were very lucky with weather. the first few days it was high 40s- low 50s with very light on and off drizzle. the last several days were sunny and 60s-70s.

Looks like a fun hunt I especially like the picture of the eagle on the flagpole

Glad you got your bear. You'd think if they met their quota they'd still honor tags sold to nonresidents. Weird way to welcome out of state hunters.

Yeah you'd think so, however they do allow, if I do not harvest lets say a black bear, I can then hunt any other species that tag costs equal or less than the bear tag.
