What to expect
in the life of a grizzly bear hunter
Hunting Grizzly Bears in Alaska comes in many forms. Most common is a simple backpack style hunt, with time spent glassing high country, either for boars looking for sows, or for bears on berries. Each offers a unique way to experience bear hunting, and Alaska in general.
Late April in the Alaska Range is a stunning place to be. Weather is typically mild and fairly warm, considering this hunt is done using snow machines. Even still, the landscape is blanketed in mostly deep, white snow. Tracks from bears emerging from their dens pepper the mountain tops.
In early June, willows are budding, and most of the snow has disappeared. All the boars are out in search of food and sows. This is a great time to enjoy mild weather, and a less physical hunt – great opportunity for an archery grizzly.
Nights are spent at the lodge, where you’ll find all the comforts of home. During the day, we’ll take snow machines deep into the range in search of recently emerged boars. Our hunting area is in a restricted use area that prohibits the use of motorized vehicles for hunting except for this one purpose.
Bears taken on these hunts typically have prime hides with no rubs.
