An interesting old photo of Bill Pinnell, half of the famous Pinnell and Tallifson Kodiak bear guides.
Alaska hunting guide Phil Shoemaker:
This photo was found under his bunk after his passing and the speculation is that it was simply one of his pranks.
Living in the same type of wild country, just across the Shelikov straights from Kodiak, I considered posing a similar scene with one of the old bear skulls we have found and a human skull we found at a WWII airplane wreck.
