Black Bear Alaska

The shorelines of Alaska are home to the largest population of trophy class Black bears in the world. This coastal rain forest gets between 120 and 200 inches of precipitation per year. The coastal islands are covered with spruce/hemlock/cedar forest, with miles of rocky beaches and many bays, tidal flats and rivers, while the mainland's geography is made up of beautiful fjords, low alps, glaciers and fewer larger rivers. This outfitter has a large guide use area that allows him to put clients on basically unhunted bears. The combination of a great area and a hard working outfitter creates the opportunity to take large 6-7' black bears annually.

Spring Black bears can be hunted on Prince of Wales Island or the mainland. Hunts will be conducted from a cabin or beach tent camps where home cooked meals are provided daily. You will utilize a small boat to glass the shorelines and tidal flats looking for feeding bears. You can also drive major logging road systems to spot bears feeding in the recent timber cuts and along the road. Spot and stalk is the only method to hunt these bears. The outfitter has personal experience guiding both archery and firearm clients. A vessel-based hunt is also offered. You will catch fish, fresh shrimp, and watch whales up close!

The spring season starts in late April and runs into June. Fall hunts are also available and can be easily combined with your Sitka Blacktail or Mountain Goat hunt. Brown bear tags are sometimes available to add to your spring bear hunt. This is truly an Alaska adventure. If you want to kill a giant Black bear with a gorgeous hide, then this is the outfitter to make that dream a reality!
