About this hunt
The low hunting pressure in the Sugarloaf exclusive guide use area gives hunters a great chance at harvesting potential record book brown bears that travel into and out of the Katmai Park, where hunting is prohibited. With the large concentrations of brown bears moving throughout the preserve, helps harbor some of the largest brown bears in the state. With a limited amount of permits and pressure, we focus on mature boars in the 9 foot class, with bears averaging over 9’10 for the last 5 years. With ten foot bears around, patience is the name of the game. We offer one 11 day hunt option, the 11 day hunt consists of 9 full days of hunting and the extra two days are used for travel in and out of the field. Wolf harvest in the fall is at no extra charge, as long as the hunting season is open. Option 2: Oct 3 – Oct 14: Hunters will need to fly into Anchorage on October 10th and into King Salmon on October 11th. Transportation into the field will occur on October 12th to start hunting on October 13th. Transportation out of the field with be on October 22nd. Lodging in the field: One 10 x 10 sleep tent and a 10 x 10 or 8 x 8 cook tent will be used. Tents will be of the highest quality and include Alaska Tent and Tarp Arctic Ovens, Bombshelter tents, Cabela’s Outfitter tents or a combination.

Best hunt ever
From the first time we talked to until we left everything was perfect!
There was nothing I didn’t like.
Big Brown Bears And an amazing hunt
Eight days of true adventure. Saw between 45-50 different bears and at least 5 huge boars. I harvested mine at 80 yards. It squared a true 9’6 with a record book skull of 28 3/16. What an incredible hunt!
The hunt had to end
Hunting Dall Sheep

Cabot is tops.
I liked how prepared Cabot was, in addition to how well he knew the area.
The fact that I only had one tag.
Cabot and don are superb people and hunters. I had a successful hunt because of their efforts

Spring Grizzly Hunt 2021 United States
Spring Hunts: May 1-10, 11-20, 22-31 (Odd Years; e.g: 2019, 2021, etc.)!! May marks the beginning of mating season for Bears, and this is an excellent time of year to hunt Grizzlies. Boars will be out cruising for sows and can be found walking river bottoms or ridge lines at any time during the day or night. 24 hour daylight this time of year guarantees a unique hunting experience! This hunt is in the Brooks Range, well north of the Arctic Circle, where the harsh winter climate makes these bears well known for their superior hide quality. An Arctic Grizzly harvested in the Spring season has thick, long fur that is incomparable with bears in any other climate. Camps are flown in using our company owned light aircraft on tundra tires or skis, and are located on high ridges or in locations with good vantage points, and hunting styles include backpacking, and stationary spot and stalk. Success rate on this hunt is 80% with sizes ranging from 6.5-8.5 ft square.
Trip duration: 10 days
Hunting season: 1 May 2021 31 May 2021
