Boat Based Fall Brown Bear 2026
- I grew up hunting and trapping here in Southeast Alaska. An old man, Clint Fick, hunted bears with me when I was a boy. He had been a taxidermist, as was his son. It is a nice memory of having learned the details of skinning and detailing a hide from Clint; as he was a patient and skilled teacher.
- The old gentleman guide, Ben Forbes, then hired me to hunt brown and black bears when I was twenty. He was about 80, and I had the privilege to be the new eyes in his operation.
- Now I have been at guiding hunters for 33 years. I like dealing with the animals, and I enjoy to help people fulfill their dreams.
- As one hunter told me last Fall,"You are the outfit I am looking for and can hardly find. You are small enough that you have time for me."
- So I am encouraged by the niche we fill.
- On one side I am a fifth generation Alaskan, on the other side I am part Tlingit Native from the area. This is a rich heritage that has helped me know this place.
- I invite you to enjoy the comfort of our fifty foot boat, a warm bunk, and hearty meals that will make up your base camp. You may hunt the islands for brown bear, black bear, wolf, sitka blacktail, or mountain goat. If you desire the exotic colored sea ducks, they are a free add on to your late season deer or goat hunts; when the birds are fresh from the arctic and in full plumage.
- For the fisherman, we offer fly fishing trips for wild steel head or salmon. Summertime offers saltwater fishing for halibut, rock fish, and salmon.
- We operate by USFS special use permit from Petersburg. We are located in the heart of the intricate Alexander Archipelligo and surrounded by the Tongass National Forest.
- Our thirty three years of guiding in Southeast, Alaska has shown us that small parties of two to four sportsmen lends to greater successes. Let our experience be the key to your next great adventure.

Stornierung
If a trip is cancelled before the 90 day period a 10% fee is charged. If the hunt is resold the remaining 40% is returned. If we need to reduce the price of the trip to move it, we use as much of that 40% as is needed to resell the trip. If there is any remaining of the 40% we return that portion. If a trip is cancelled within the 90 day period we retain 50% and try to resell the trip. If we can we return the remaining 50% we do. If we need to use a portion of remaining deposit to resell the trip as “discounted” we do so. If no hunter may be found within the 90 day prior period we may opt. to keep 100%, although thus far all trips like this have been sold as discounted.Anschweißen

Big Game
Big game hunting in Alaska includes many sought after species such as Moose, Caribou, Dall sheep, and many others.
Most hunts are general season, i.e. available with “over-the-counter” tags/permits, while certain high-demand hunts are allocated by lottery drawing. The application period for drawing permits is typically in November – December, with results announced in late winter. Both residents and non-residents can apply for most draws.
Non-resident hunters, in addition to purchasing Alaska annual hunting license, must buy an appropriate locking-tag for each big game animal hunted (e.g. moose tag, caribou tag) which needs to be affixed to the animal immediately after harvest and remain until the meat is processed.
Residents of Alaska do not need to buy tags for most species (except a locking-tag for brown bear or muskox in certain hunts).
Besides drawing options, some hunts are registration permits (first-come, first-served, often available in-season) or harvest tickets (free, but required for general hunts of species like moose, caribou, deer) which need to be carried in the field and returned to Fish and Game with harvest report.
Small Game
Small game in Alaska – including upland game birds (ptarmigan, grouse), waterfowl (ducks, geese), and small mammals like snowshoe hare – is generally available over the counter with no special draw. A standard hunting license allows residents and non-residents to hunt small game. However, migratory bird hunting does require acquiring Federal and State Duck Stamps. Additionally, Alaska requires proof of participation in the Harvest Information Program (HIP) for migratory bird hunters (a free HIP registration).
Upland game bird and small game hunting do not require tags or stamps, but bag limits and season dates vary by area.
Documents that you need for hunting in Alaska:
- Alaska Hunting License – Available in Resident, Non-Resident, and Non-Resident Alien versions (e.g. an annual non-resident hunting license)
- Permits/Harvest Tickets – a drawing permit (if you won a lottery), a registration permit, or a harvest ticket per huntable species
- Non-resident hunters will need big game tags (Locking-Tags) for each big game species hunted
Residents need a locking-tag only for certain species (brown/grizzly bear and muskox in some hunts) - Hunter Education Certificate
- Bowhunter/Crossbow/Muzzleloader Education proof (if needed)
- State & Federal Duck Stamps + HIP registration confirmation
Minimum Hunter Age
Alaska does not specify a minimum age for hunting, but there are strict supervision and education rules for young hunters. Hunters under 10 years old cannot hunt big game and must be under direct immediate supervision of a licensed adult if they accompany a hunt.
10+ years old - a successfully completed Hunter Education course is required.
