I don’t post pics. But Jonah Stewart is “the man” on baited brown bear hunts. A friend and I both killed brownies there three years ago.

Rowdy Dowdy's the man if you want to get a big one with very little effort!
Seriously, I got a nice Brownie with Luke Randall on Afognak in 2006. Guess he's in Kodiak now.

Troy congrats on a great bear! I am thinking about doing that hunt with stan in 2023. How many days did you hunt and how far was your shot? Tom

Thanks, Tom. I believe I killed my bear on day 8, and the shot was at 20 yards.
I did a thread on my hunt with Stan, a couple months ago, that gives details of the hunt, as well as a bit about Stan’s operation. “K114’s Grizzly Encounter”.

Baited Brown Bear - Jonah Stewart
Spot and Stalk Brown - Lance, Scott Milluer, Phil Shoemaker
“ Baited” Grizzly over salmon - Stan Parkerson
Spot and Stalk Grizzly - Lance or Stan (depends what you want to spend)
Lots of options, but IMO those are your best choices

Nice pictures. Nothing like stalking a brown bear for me. There are good options in these reports.
