The bears of the area are classic Coastal Brown Bears with large boars ranging from 8.5 to over 9.5 ; skull sizes of large boars range from 25-28. Our kill rate over the last 10 year concession was 87.6% according to TNWR statistics. Our camps in this
concession are bomb shelter-style tents with cots and cook stoves. Small infl atables with motors are used to facilitate travel around the shorelines of the bigger lakes and some streams.
