Made it back to Alaska after a great polar bear season in Churchill. Here are the highlights:

All are nice, but 1 and 5 for me, the shot along the road sure shows the size of their tracks, not hard to follow those. This is on my bucket list and I may send you a pm for some info later if you wouldn't mind. Has to be an awesome place to see, great that you were able to do so and thanks for sharing the pics.

Love #5. Would like to do the Churchill polar bears while my brother still lives in Manitoba.

Very nice set. The last shot, and the tracks are the stand-outs for me!
