Canoe Bay, Alaska – Brown Bear

Brad Brock and I recently returned from a successful brown bear hunt on the Alaskan Peninsula. It was an early spring on the Peninsula, the only snow was high in the mountains and we enjoyed warm sunshine days. Unusual weather and conditions to say the least. We spotted Brad’s bear on the second day of the hunt. After a long stalk up a valley, Brad made a perfect shot and had his huge boar on the ground. The bear squared 10’4” and had a 28 15/16” skull!! A Boone and Crockett brown bear.

It was an incredible hunt and experience. The outfitter is, in my opinion, one of the very best I have ever hunted with in North America. I have guided all over western Canada and many Lower 48 states and quickly recognized our outfitter was first class. The hunting area was enormous privately leased land. The guides were very knowledgeable , experienced and great company. I truly cannot say enough about the outfitter, area, guides and equipment. I have hunted the Big Five in Africa and guided great trophies throughout North America but I must say that the huge bears on the Alaskan Peninsula are among the finest game animals in the world.

The area I hunted with Brad is renowned for the biggest brown bears in the world. If you would like to know more about the hunt or want to hunt these majestic bears – call me.

Gordie’s Book

“There are some things I knew about Gordie White before I read his book…and one important thing I did not know. I knew that he was not only an experienced hunter, but a passionate, with a genuine love for wild places and wild creatures. I knew that he’d been brought up as a hunter, and that this is, essentially, his life as well as his hobby, both his avocation and vocation. It’s my chronological misfortune to consider him young, but he’s filled his years with a tremendous amount of experience, from Canada to Africa and back again, with multiple stops in between. I knew these things because we’ve shared African campfires together…and I knew one thing more: Gordie White is one of the good guys, honest, self-deprecating, not given to the shameless self-promotion that, in this era of mass communication without accountability, turns inexperienced ‘wanna-be’s’ into self-proclaimed gurus. But there was one important thing that I did not know about Gordie White: The man can write! Although I’m sure there are more, there are two things that make a book like this worthy of reading. First, the writer must have a genuine story to tell. Second, he must be able to tell it. Gordie White passes both tests, and has given us a great story, worth telling and worth reading.”
