About this hunt

Alaska is home to 80% of the brown/grizzly bears. The term grizzly bear is often used in reference to brown bears. The difference between the two is defined by the location in which they inhabit, SCI does this by game management area and B&C us the 62nd parallel. Our camp located in western Alaska is within the SCI boundaries for grizzly bears while our Peninsula area has all brown bears. We hunt for Grizzly bears out of our Western Alaska camp in both spring and fall. Our fall hunts take place September 1-10 and can be combined with moose hunting. The spring season is April 20-30 and we are hunting with snow machines and snow shoes. Fall hunts are based out of tented spike camps and the spring hunts are based from our main camp. Our biggest bears come during the spring and we have many bears in the record book from this area. Both spring and fall hunts are very low volume and very high success.

Western Alaska Hunt Camp

Our Titnuk Camp is located in GMU 19 and is the jumping off point for our western Alaska brown bear hunts, grizzly hunts, and moose hunts. This camp is located 275 miles SW of Anchorage in the upper Bristol Bay area of Alaska. This is more a camp than a lodge with one main building, a shower building, 5 wall tents and a large cook tent. This camp is accessible by small bush equipped aircraft.
