staring us down, Tom took
the lead bear, straight on. The
other bear just stood there, so I
dropped that one.
There we sat atop a mountain,
admiring one of the most
spectacular views on the planet,
with two bears only a few yards
apart from one another. The
skinning job was easy in the heat
of the day, and the breathtaking
hike off the mountain was one
I'll never forget. We simply gave
thanks to these great predators
for bringing us to this part of
The I-ast l-'rontier.

in Alaska, this time along the

me here, but it was the small
predators that caught my initial

During the years I lived in
Alaska I hunted and trapped
furbearing predators from fox
to wolf, wolverine to lynx, and
never got enough. With winter
fast approaching, the red fox
were on a mission to gain as
much food as possible, and what
better place to find it than along
the beaches?
I'd arrived in camp early, so
had a couple extra days before
the brown bear season. That's
all I needed to fulfill my smallpredator
urge.
On my very first set 1
positioned the FoxPro Fury
in some tall, sparse grass. I
called into a slight crosswind,
figuring any approaching

12-gauge shotgun, so I needed
a close encounter. Increasing

remote, the sounds of the

Booking Bear Hunts
In Alaska, nonresidents are required to hire a guide when hunting
brown or grizzly bears. I hunted with noted brown bear guide
Bruce Hallingstad of 8echarof Outfitters (253-326-6198. www.
becharoflodge.com). 8ruce is based out of the village of Egegik.
and has high numbers of red fox in the area. There are also crossfox
in the region, and lots of brown bears.
My inland black bear hunt took place with Curly Warren, owner
of Stoney River lodge, near the remote village of Sleetmute (907-
526-5211; www.stoneyriverlodge.com). Curly $pecializes in inland
grizzly and black bears, amidst some of the most incredible
country I've set foot on in Alaska.
