August in Kodiak

You can always count on the fish running and the Kodiak Bears feeding. Mark and Patrick went down to Sargents Creek to fish this afternoon. I got a call from Mark saying that there was a bear down there, so Matt and I hopped in the car and drove down. There he was out by the waters edge. As we watched him wander farther away, we drove down to what is known as "Sometimes Island" which is exactly what it means, sometimes it's an island and sometimes it's not. Anyhoo, we watched him for a bit and noticed that he was heading back towards Sargents Creek, so we headed that way ourselves. The path you see him on is the same path the bear last year took. It heads right up to the road where we were standing. He crossed not even 50 feet from Matt and I. He headed over to the creek across the road. That is where he hung out for over an hour, fishing. There were at least 3o people watching this bear fish. It was very exciting to see. This bear also has two wounds on his backside. We all speculated that it was an larger bear that took out two chunks. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Look at those teeth!
