More about us

Our company was established in 1982 and operates in 1 territory.

We are a family run operation which has been in business since 1982. It was started by Peter Kalden at that time. His son, Alex, has been involved in the daily operations since the early 1990's and has taken over the operation in 2006. Our clients have come from all over the world, with the majority from the USA, Sweden and Germany.
We have always prided ourselves on remaining a relatively small operation that pays attention to each individual hunter's needs. Over the years, many of our guests have become close friends, as is evidenced by our large number of return clientele. Our current guides have also been a part of the operation for over a decade.

About this hunt

Bear can be very large and cover ground extremely quickly. For this reason, we recommend a 270 Win. with 150 gr. bullets as the minimum caliber to bring. A scope with high magnification isn't necessary as shots are generally close, but it is beneficial to have telescopic sights as this will give you an extra 10-15 minutes of shooting light at the end of the day, when the big bears are most active. Most of our bait sites are also in heavy cover where light fades quickly.
