love these old hunting movies. reminds me of gorden eastman and fred bear movies
My father was in the Navy and we were stationed on Kodiak Island in the mid sixties and it a neat time for sure. There was a lake between the base and the city called Boy Scout lake with a small camp for the scouts well even in the middle of the summer that was the coldest water I can ever remember. My mother still has a cast of a Kodiak bear paw and it is quit large. The base is now a Coast Guard base and can be seen in a Kevin Costner film The Guardian and it really hasn't changed much from the sixties when viewing the movie.
Very good episode of Kodak Island showing the beautiful wilderness it also remind me of a episode of American sports man back then Alaska King Crab was cheap back in the late sixties
Was here in 2008 for 7 days with Wounded Warrior and it was AMAZING!
Today a guided Kodiak bear hunt starts at about $20,000. Even with the airfare African safaris are usually cheaper.
Indeed Alaskan guides love money and they are mandatory for non residents….
I really enjoyed this post. Thank you.
Alaska and BC have been a great location for many a good but tough time in the field. When many think of Alaska the .338 Win Mag is a faitful friend for many up there. And often a part of the luggage many visiting conservationists aswell as Guides also had along under thousands of miles in total.
Nice to see kod.before 64 E.Q.
That was definitely not a ten footer. Ha! But a cool old video for sure!
Home♥️ not much has changed
Good time when there wasn’t so much idiots anti hunting like we can see in some comments here !
Can’t stand people who see a bear and think it’s a rug for their trophy room. Sick mentality thinking nature is there for your to assault with violence at a whim.
well, us humans can't grow our own fur, so we kill a bear and take theirs.
i see bear i see supper!!! bear is damn fine eating almost as good a backstrap off a deer! the rug and buckskin leather are just a bonus! if you want a sick mentality look at the ones who romancetize and drool over this hood trash shooting the place up trying to show off for a sorry ass gold digging 600 pound heifer so they might get some or just to prove they've got one!!!!
Senseless killing...
I'm only kidding. We all need to eat. Not to mention the numerous parts of the animal that will provide good use. The food chain is real, regardless of anyone's feelings.
they left the meat though!!!
@@keithmoore5306 It wont be waisted out there
@@clayz1 i know nature will clean it up but i'm a meat hunter the rug is a bonus of the hunt not the goal for me!! and bear is extremely good eating!!
@@keithmoore5306 It was probably all gamey.
@@clayz1 personally i like gamey! if you don;t soak it in buttermilk!
Don't kill the bears for sport...that's very evil!!!
First bears then Vietnamese villagers then how many other "sporting expeditions"
humans have been skinning bears for fifty thousand years. guess that Vietnam trip was a little late in that game
