Favorite is McNeil River where scores of bears congregate during the salmon run. That's the biggest brown bear I ever guided for. The hunter is Bob Coleman from Utah, one of the nicest guys I ever met. The McNeil river is quite a thing, it's not like that in real life. I mean, the McNeil is, but the rest of Alaska isn't.

Actually started out just his head, hence the name it had in the film, but then at the end of the film John Candy used the shotgun lamp and blasted the fur off its ass so it was then bald at both ends lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
