About this hunt

Kodiak Brown Bear Hunting…what more needs to be said. This is the best place in the world to shoot a trophy class Brown Bear for several reasons. The #1 Boone and Crockett record bear came from Kodiak Island. The number of trophy bears taken in the past 5 years with skulls over 28” was higher than any 5-year period since 1960, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. It is estimated that there is one bear per square mile on Kodiak. The Kodiak Bear population is stable, healthy, and productive. We hunt hard and smart in order to maximize your opportunity at a trophy bear, and it pays off. Black Bear…These hunts are in the Alaska Range and the limit is three bears per season. We have had tremendous success taking bears in this area and many bears square 7’. We have bait sites and spot and stalk hunts specifically targeting black bears and we also take them as opportunity allows while hunting other animals. Our bait hunts are out of our cabins which allow for some of the comforts of home. Black bear hunts start in April and run through October.
