My son is stationed in Kodiak, AK again, and he got his first Kodiak Brown Bear. He's a good one. I'm going up there for Thanksgiving, and I'll get to cross bear meat off of my list of things I've tried. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-7848-404122-img_20231029_201629.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-7848-404123-img_20231029_201650.jpg)

Size of rifle? He'll get the official size tomorrow, but he has measured him at 9'. He used a .300 WSM. One shot put him down, but he put two extra insurance shots in him.

Awesome bear! As a service member, was he exempt from the outfitter requirement or did he have to get one too?
