BROWN BEAR HUNTING IN ALASKA
This hunt will be a 1x1 hunt in unit 16 for Alaskan brown bear.
You will arrive in Anchorage the day prior to being flown to our base camp approximately 1.5 hours west of Anchorage. There will be no additional cost to the hunter for air charter once they have reached Anchorage. Once in base camp, you will wait for ideal conditions to be flown to your spike camp where camp and your guide will be waiting. This is an early spring hunt and is conducted in high alpine with snow shoes and most often on bears just out of the den. The hunter does need to be in pretty good condition for this hunt as it will be somewhat strenuous. After the completion of your hunt, you will be picked up by plane and returned back to base camp. From there the hunter will be flown back to Anchorage. The cost of the above mentioned will be included in the cost of the hunt.
CONDITIONS OF BASE CAMP AND SPIKE CAMP: The base camp consists of two log cabins (12x14 & 12x16) set atop a 2000 foot ridge with a private airstrip as well as a spectacular view on Mt. McKinley and the beautiful Alaska Range. One cabin will be setup for sleeping while the other will be for cooking and telling hunting stories! Both have wood stoves and porches. There is also a very nice outhouse for pondering your thoughts!
The spike camps will have Four-Season's mountain tents (3-4 person) for the tight spots and 8x8 Bombshelter tents where the terrain allows. These camps will be in the mountains and set up on snow-pack.
CARE OF TROPHY: Your bear will skinned in the field, head and feet removed, and if time allows fleshed by a professional Alaskan guide. Once back in Anchorage, the trophy will be taken to a quality taxidermist for proper fleshing, salting and sealing. This will be at no charge to the hunter.

HUNT SUCCESS: This is a low volume high success rate
brown bear hunt. I only take two hunters per season allowing for close to 100% success in harvesting a trophy. I do not sell animals nor do I guarantee one. I do guarantee a quality hunt with professional staff to provide the hunter with the best possible means of harvesting their trophy of a lifetime. We hunt in Unit 16 and mostly on state lands. The area is quite large allowing us to move camps if the need arises. While bears can vary in size from 7 to 10 foot, the average bears I have harvested in this area hold constant at around 8'2" to 9'5" feet when squared.
DATES & AVAILABILITY: The dates for our spring hunts will vary depending on the snow conditions. To insure high success rates, the outfitter will keep a close eye on the temperature and snow conditions. When the bears start coming out of hibernation the hunter will be notified to get to Anchorage. The general window for this hunt is April 10 through May 1, so proper planning can be made. If exact dates are more desirable for the hunter then a 10 day window can be scheduled. The hunts are booked in ten day slots. For example, if your hunt is booked on the 1st - 10th then you will arrive the day before and leave the day after. Our falls hunts begin August 10th and run until October 15th*. If a bear is taken early the hunt is considered over and the hunter will be flown out of the field at the outfitters discretion.
PRICING: These hunts are 1x1 ten day hunts and are all-inclusive once you leave Anchorage until you return. The cost for these hunts is $14,500 US Dollars.
Add-on Adventures: Black bear hunting is $1,500.00 per day per hunter. Fishing charters vary from $150-425.00 per day per person.
