We Needed Meat to Feed the Kids | Alaska Black Bear Hunt

We're less than a week away from picking up the kids, and one thing was on our minds: filling the freezer. As we worked our way along Alaska's remote outer coast, we started spotting black bears feeding on the spring greens. After checking regulations, passing on opportunities that didn't feel right, and spending hours glassing beaches and grassy flats, Scott finally got his chance. For us, hunting has never been about trophies. It's about providing healthy food for the family, respecting the animals that sustain us, and staying connected to the wild places we call home. This spring black bear will become burger, sausage, roasts, and countless meals shared around the table with our kids this summer. And as if Alaska wanted to add a little extra magic to the day, a rainbow appeared behind us just as everything came together. Thanks for coming along.
