This 7 day hunt take place on private land within the beautiful Wrangell-St.Elias National Park & Preserve. The Ahtna Native Corporation has allowed us to hunt on their land because of the large number of grizzly and black bear that prey on moose calves in May and June. Due to thick brush and rugged landscape we generally hunt over bait which allows for better shot placement and more time to judge the size and quality of your trophy bear. You can expect some long days in the stand but your patience will be rewarded with the opportunity to watch multiple bears and a chance to harvest the trophy of a lifetime. ATV's are used to access the the area. If you do not have any experience operating an ATV we will teach you some basic operating skills before going into the field. After the hunt you can spend your time fishing in the area's many lakes, sightseeing, or just relaxing at the bunkhouse. OUTFITTER WILL TAKE POSSESSION OF MEAT UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE PRIOR TO THE HUNT.

Black bear hunts take place on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Prince of Wales Island produces more trophy size black bear than anywhere else in Canada or the U.S. My hunts are BOAT-BASED and spotting and stalking from small skiffs. I hunt the beaches, tidal flats and estuaries for bears. I have been guiding on Prince of Wales for over ten years and every year take one bear with over a twenty one inch skull and have taken several over eight foot squared. The largest skull size was twenty-two and three-sixteenths taken in the fall of 2006. Four (4) hunters taken on the boat based hunts.

The early to late-fall run of Chum, Sockeye and Coho salmon make this hunt prime. Hunt strategy will range from spot & stalk and ladder stands to bank sitting and pop-up blinds. My policy of one hunter at a time is generally adhered to when brown bear hunting, as the added noise, scent and associated interference of a second hunter will only spoil the chances of success for everyone. Most fall brown bears will be taken during the last light of the day or by moon light. This hunt can be booked as a rifle or archery hunt. Extremely large Brown Bears in Southeast Alaska are not normally as abundant as at Kodiak Island or the Alaska Peninsula. However, some of the largest bears ever taken in Southeast Alaska were taken from my hunt area by my clients. Hunters who have patience, and sometimes simple luck, have harvested brown bears that square 9-feet plus. To-date the largest bear my clients have taken squared 9.8 feet; which is a true measurement – no fudging. It may have gotten bigger by the time it was mounted (They often do) Skull sizes at Haines have exceed 28 inches, but a large bear in Southeast Alaska is anything over 24 inches. Brown Bear, Black Bear and Mt. Goat can be booked as a combination high country hunt. We have no shooting hours in Alaska. The largest, most wary Brown Bears are nocturnal in nature. I can provide a Winchester Model 70 rifle in .338 Magnum and Leopold scope that has an illuminated red dot and a 56-mm objective lens for night hunting. We do not use night vision scopes or infrared scopes because they are illegal in Alaska. We hunt only with natural light. Hunters should arrive a day before a hunt starts, and depart a day after it ends.
