Bear Hunting Around Cold Bay

Bear Hunting Around Cold Bay

Back in the late summer of 1979 my friend and local taxidermist Brent Jones asked me if I wanted to go brown bear hunting that fall with him and another friend of his, Dwight Felmlee. I jumped at the offer. I had hunted sheep with Brent in ’74 and had been hanging around his taxidermy shop in my spare time. Brent was a super hunter with an Assistant Guide License so I felt like it would be a great hunt. We were going to hunt in the Cold Bay area and I had never been that far down the Alaska Peninsula.
