Coastal Black Bear Hunting
Prince of Wales Island, Alaska
Trade Hardcover Edition-ISBN: 9780982537107

"Hunting the great bears of Alaska is something I have personally had the privilege to enjoy. Most recently I took a monster brown bear deep down on the Peninsula. Of course, most of you know me from my African dangerous game hunting movies and books and the many life and death charges I have lived to tell about. Be that as it may, regardless of what I have become, great hunting, in any form, is what I live for. Shawn Joyce`s book, Coastal Black Bear Hunting, is a must read. Once I started I could not put it down. It was written by a hunter—for a hunter. Shooters need not apply if you know what I mean.

Shawn`s book is clear and concise. His worldwide hunting experience combined with his do-it- yourself style grabs you like a wounded lion and doesn`t let go. I must admit, hunting Prince of Wales Island for black bear has never been on my radar. All that changed once I began my journey into the first few pages. You see, I`m a do-it-yourself kind of guy. Why pay when with a little imagination and thought you can do it yourself; at far less money.

This book is fabulously well written and easily understood. The first thing that comes to mind is how fun it would be to follow in Shawn`s footsteps and take a black bear of my own. There is something magical about the challenge, of facing the unknown, being the guide, making mistakes, then enthralling yourself with the sweet smell of success once you`ve bagged your trophy. This is what this book is about. It takes you through the entire process, step by step, and in a way that captures the hunter spirit in each of us and makes us want to be the Big Bwana. Whether you are an experienced hunter or a novice, you will come away with many useful tips. More importantly, it will put you on the path to adventure."
