Giant Kodiak Island Brown Bear
#610080 - 11/17/08 10:42 AM

Here's a picture of my buddy's friend and his huge Kodiak Island Brown Bear - the skull green scored 29 1/4 inches and measured 10 feet long (nose to tail).

I've always been in infatuated by big brown bears. I've read about every article Outdoor Life and Field & Stream ever published on brown bears. What a dream to have that monster on the wall.

What kinda house do you have? I would think if you were to get something this size you would want a full mount or at least half a mount.


Maybe this would entitle a new trophy room.

I can't afford the $10k tag, so mounting it and adding on to my house won't ever be an issue.

I got a friend from back home who has went on two brown bear hunts. Hasn't seen a bear within a 3 miles either time of course. The last trip, they got snowed in, weren't sure they were going to survive. Sounded quite interesting.
