Congratulations to AAA Alaskan Outfitters and my former partner and longtime friend Brent Jones for taking APHA’s SCI “Top” two awards for brown bears in 2023 and to guide Troy Kitchel for guiding brown bear hunter, Lance LeFleur, on the animal that won APHA’s 2023 Outstanding Animal Award.  This first place giant had a 30 6/16” skull!  After all these years, AAA continues to take bears of this quality.
