The southeast is also known for its different type. of adventures spend downtime filling our freezer with fresh fish while we chase bears with a bow in hand while salmon run upstream to spawn love here, that's cool, you want to see, no, boom, forgive that guy, this right now , others made a good book so your damn cameras patience is definitely hurt the best things in the tank it's a bad day right there we started our trip in the small fishing town of Ketchikan the salmon is king here the area thrives on salmon runs while fishing is the main attraction in the surrounding area.

The rivers attract large bears from the area's temperate rainforests to feast on the abundant food source. From here we hop on a seaplane to a friend's remote cabin where we'll borrow a boat to transport us as we fly. I remember a bear. hunt a few years earlier I went on in the spring with my good friend Jeremy resynchronizing rogue expeditions jeremy and I landed his plane in the remote marshes outside Anchorage in search of

bears on a spontaneous late spring hunt in a forest management unit predators in the middle of the day, the lights are pretty cloudy, so I'm sitting in a spot where the bears have been coming in in case Bach Mary decides to show up.

The rich environment in the Bay could also take a nap or bottle beers as frequent pain let's earn a snack for the mosquitoes they are so bad when I believe in keeping it in a big pack this is a very big bear it's like a seven foot black bear and I wasn't actually planning on hunting black bears but this is a bear control area and they say black bears actually kill more moose calves and terrestrials do so they have opened it up and are trying to reduce the numbers of bears here and this is definitely a very big old fort area, although many don't see it, it is a normal meal, bears are an excellent table dish and it is always a tradition for me to cook some of the fresh meat.

There's something primal about pushing myself behind a stick. Part of it is somewhere, it's faster. It would be really good, it's like beef brisket, yes, like beef brisket, just as tender in Southeast Alaska. Ryan and I land in a remote bay where my friend keeps his boat at his family's fish shop. My brother Ryan, although a hunter has always wanted to do it. fishing in Alaska, this is his first trip to the state and I am excited to share the adventure in the place I enjoy so much. The plan is simple: scout the area for salmon with our rods and keep the hunting gear in the boat. in case we see a good hunting spot around here, running salmon equals bears, finding the fishing spot means that you simultaneously found the hunting spot in every river and stream and they have different runs at different times, so when you find the one with a good run It's a good idea to invest some time and fish it out before continuing.

Do you want things that will really let you take it? Yes, there you have it, it's ready. Well, I'll walk there. Yes, good capture with all the splashing and action sounds in it. river, it doesn't take us long to encounter our first bear at this point. I have fishing in mind, but seeing this bear makes me excited to start hunting. I have a bear right behind me just browsing, it's cool. right outside your catch there is a little bear I'm not worried about that bear I'm worried about his mom great oh there's a bigger bear right there my biggest gun is not a bad bear it's not huge but I think if I can handle it go read , okay, I'll sneak up and get closer, it's just not dead almost at the same time the little guy came out, a mature boy made his way to the river, upstream, it's time to change modes from fishing to hunting.

The bear here is a loose line it could be another bear here if they let me escape I'm going to go back to where I was and I have to go grab my backpack because the tides are about to change any minute and that's just coming fast, we have a problem back there, make sure my backpack and all my good cameras aren't underwater or the rest of the show will just be me cursing myself for being an idiot while the trip continues. Ryan and me. Take advantage of the nice weather and try your luck filling our freezers with rockfish, halibut and salmon, although the Southeast is the wettest place in Alaska, we are lucky with amazing sunny weather, making for an enjoyable and enjoyable fishing trip. an atmosphere of good union between brothers.

When you fish in the books, I feel like grabbing my bow and chasing some bears. I think I want to go to the right. Say good luck. Grab some dinner. I'll give you a good push and you can check it out. Make sure they leave you with a fishing rod. My brother will just go out fishing. I'm going to work upstream and hopefully run into some bears coming out and feeding on the salmon tide that's still coming in, so it should be. pretty good for a while, I didn't really see any fish activity, so there may not even be a bear around, but I have my cameras, my bow and a fishing rod and today I'm going to hunt here alone while he is around. out there fishing and doing his thing, there's actually a bear track right here, I got a bear, it looks like a nice bear, hang in there buddy, millions of damn bear tracks on you, the NRC is embarrassing.

I wouldn't be surprised if when he walked over me, that was the call I could come from any direction, he was moving towards the woods. I'm pretty sure he's just walking in that direction anyway. I don't think I was scared after the Great Bear slipped into the woods across the river. I return to my backpack to reevaluate my plan. the salmon start moving upstream with the tide and it's a good sign the bears will be fishing again, it's back on my fat ass, I turn around and another bear came out climbing up there. I make my way upstream after the bear as it continues to disappear. in the woods I keep catching glimpses of it before it finally disappears for the good bugs, but that just didn't work, their plan just kept moving, it didn't stop and I go back to my pack, I turn around and there's another bear the same size as them.

They're not huge, but they're good enough for me. Don't know. I think I'm going to grab my stuff with my head there, sit for a bit and wait another hour and then come back. There is a bear next to me. I just came back. Let my brother come pick me up. I look out at the... and he's just pulling a fish. It's a cool thing to see from afar. You love fishing. It's great. I can go do my thing alone. Go up to the river to hunt. for bears, you can go out and just fish. I just want to show this aspect of what it means to be what the word solo hunter means.

Yeah of course we've done those solo mission trips to the backcountry, backpacking cams, there's also these trips where you can spend time with my brother I go bear hunting he can do his thing I can do mine and we get together and we tell fish stories, hunting stories or whatever it is for you
