Alaska Black Bear Hunt

Have you ever dreamed about going back in time and visiting the world as it was when it was first created? A world full of primeval landscapes and beautiful vistas that give the feeling of being almost surreal! High mountains with jagged peaks that seem to drop right into the Sea. Mountains which are surrounded by an eternal ice field that fold around the peaks like a comforting blanket. Rivers of ice that break away and snake their way to the Ocean to create walls of ice that tower high into the air. Imagine this primitive setting as you look out across the Inlet and feel the chill come up your spine as you witness a Bore Tide with a 6 foot wall of water racing up the tidal flats. Look beyond into the Aleutian Mountain Range and see the steam rising from one of a number of volcanoes. A land that is full of hundreds of thousands of sea birds, and an abundance of fish, mammals, and animals. Streams and rivers that are so overflowing with Salmon, returning to spawn, that it seems that you could cross to the other side by walking on their backs. An ocean filled with a variety of Whales, Seals, Sea Lions, Walrus, Porpoises, Sea Otters and hundreds of species of fish, including the monster Halibut that can weigh well over 500 pounds. A land blessed with a variety of animals such as Dall Sheep, Black Bear, Brown Bear, Mountain Goats, Moose, and Caribou.

If you can imagine a land like this at the beginning of time, then you can transport yourself forward in time to today's Alaska and experience these exact same conditions. It is in this environment in which an outstanding opportunity is offered for an Alaska Black Bear Hunt. Nothing can compare with a Black Bear hunt on the Coast of Alaska from an Ocean Going Hunting Vessel. The scenery is primeval and spectacular and the Black Bears large and abundant. It is the ultimate Black Bear hunting experience!

Your Alaska Black Bear Hunt is conducted aboard a Ocean going Vessel. There are separate bunks and you will enjoy hot and cold running water, a head, and lots of hot water to allow showers after an exhilarating day of hunting. The boat is operated by a captain licensed by the US Coast Guard and is outfitted with top of the line life saving and navigation equipment which is regularly inspected by the USCG. You can have an exhilarating day of hunting and even get rained on during your stalk, but at the end of the day you know you can get a hot shower and have clean dry clothes. Then you'll lean back with a drink in your hand and look out through picture glass windows at some of the most awesome scenery the World has to offer, while waiting for a dinner to be served that is fit for a king. We serve New York Steaks, Crab, sea foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, nice desserts, and plenty of snacks and beverages. A cruise hunt for Alaska Black Bear offers the ultimate experience in Alaska Trophy Hunting. On a 5 day hunting cruise one should see between 20 and 40 Black Bear. Your Alaska Black Bear Hunt normally starts near Valdez when you are flown by air charter from Anchorage to the hunting boat.

In the Spring, during the month of May, the bears have just come out of their dens and are spending a good deal of time looking for something to eat. They generally have to settle for the grass that grows near the beach which is what makes this hunt so relaxing. We use the smaller skiffs to explore the smaller coves and the heads of many Bays where the Black Bear can be found munching of the new grass. If you prefer you can spend your time with a cup of coffee in one hand looking through the picture windows at the beaches and the grassy slopes for the raven black critters. When one is spotted that is judged to be large enough, and meets the requirements for a successful stalk, the skiff is taken to the beach and the stalk begins. These hunts are as close to 100% successful as hunts can be. Generally, the few hunters that do not take a bear have either passed on a good bear, looking for a monster, or have not been able to put their bear down when they had a good opportunity, and there are generally several opportunities. In the Fall, the hunt is again concentrated on the beaches but this time near the Salmon streams. This is the best time for a bow hunter as one can often get some very close shots. It is quite a thrill to watch these big Black Bear fish for Salmon. After success with the Black Bear it is time to do some fishing for Halibut, and some of these fish have been known to be bigger than the Black Bear.

When you consider the hunt location on the wild and primeval Coastline of Alaska, the daily spectacular scenic beauty, the abundance of animals, sea birds and marine life, the large numbers of trophy sized Black Bear, and the quality of service and comfort offered on a Hunting Vessel, this Alaska Black Bear Hunt will be remembered as one of your most outstanding hunting experiences!
