spring, when alaskan kids and bears get together:

Post by hfcable »

one of our employees, Rick, took his son across the inlet to a friends bait station for black bear this weekend. His 12 year old son, with the great name Hunter, got a big black bear squaring 6 feet 1 inch...and as they were taking a picture Hunter exclaimed ' Dad! behind you !!' and an even bigger bear , squaring 6 feet 10" walked right up to them....Rick employed his marlin 45/70 to good effect-- father and son both got the pictures then:

a day later at the same spot, the bait station owners daughter, barely 10 years old, got this grizzly using her 308 [ don't tell the bears they are only using 308s, it probably wouldn't work any more ] :

these alaskan kids don't even know how good they have it up here !!

Does my heart good to see kids raised like that. Good to see a Marlin 45/70 being Used like that too. Mine is at the machinist being converted to a takedown, in case we get grizz here in Pennsylvania anytime soon. :roll:

Amazing.
Kids like that would be put in a care home over here with parents like that!

Well done mom, dad and the kids.

Just look at the smiles on those faces. That little girl is going to have a fabulous necklace if she wants.

Awesome. The smile on the kids faces are priceless. That picture of the little girl is just the perfect answer for why we hunt.
