9 years old and already a Trophy Hunter

This 9 year old girl from the Yukon has possibly killed the new world record brown
bear while hunting the Alaskan Peninsula in October of 2006.

Skull size 33 1/16″, 11′ 9″ nose-to-tail. Estimated weight of 1,800 Lbs.

If you have any more info on the story let me know.

Thanks

Definitely impressive. Interesting to hear the full story. Thanks Chad for letting me know the full story. I truly love it when kids get into the action. I know I never had the chance to hunt bear when I was 10. I give her props.

Just found your site and I like it. Here is a story I did about this same girl Fern Spaulding with the bear.

In my post I include a link to this girl’s website and the very impressive trophy page that many of us could only dream of. Check Out Fern’s Trophy Page http://www.larryrivers.com/fern.htm
