The Big Kodiak Brown Bears are found only on Kodiak Island.  There is no difference between the "Kodiak" and any other Brown or Grizzly bear, again accept for their location.  The Kodiak Brown Bear has an excellent habitat and abundant food with little competition.  This leads to it's bigger size, and the Brown Bears on Kodiak Island are known for their massive world record size.

BE SELECTIVE ON YOUR ALASKA BROWN BEAR HUNT
Being Selective on your Alaska Brown Bear Hunt means choosing the biggest MALE to take as your trophy. Most big game animals reproduce slowly, this means that any sudden decrease in the female population could mean total devistation for the animals in that area.

Most hunters and hunting guides respect this and abide by it.  They take only the biggest males of the animals that are present and leave the smaller females to reproduce for the coming years.  The Grizzly Bear population in the lower 48 and other areas of the world are almost non-excistent and we should preserve the remaining habitats of the Alaska Brown Bear or Grizzly for future generations.
