RE: HELP PLEASE!!!!!!
i highly recommend an unguided trip to prince of wales island alaska. lots of bears to spot and stalk. september is great, there hitting the rivers for the spawning salmon. fishing is great. it is a bit cheaper to split it with 2 or 3 buddies, just so the rental car and cabin are a bit cheaper, but i/we went last fall, and it can be done for right at $1400, and that includes your airfair! i spent a bit more, but went on a half day ocean fishing charter.
a total blast, and did i mention lots of bears. i shot mine with my bow at about 7 feet walking straight at me!!!!
