Alaska Fly-In/Boat-In Brown Bear Tent Camp/Cabin Hunt

We invite you to come and experience Brown Bear Hunting at its best in South Central Alaska with a very professional registered bear guide. The guide we use hunts very hard for our clients and his past client success has been near 90%. Most hunters have a chance at more than one brown bear. The hunts take place every year in June or September.

These hunts are conducted out of a spike or a tent camp near Cordova, Alaska. Over the years, this hunt has produced brown bear that average between 9 to 10 feet, with larger bear being taken as well. Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young record book brown bears have been taken on this hunt. You will hunt some of the finest big game areas that Alaska has to offer, accessible by bush plane or boat & motor from/to bear camp. One of our bear hunts takes place on some "Exclusive Privately Leased Land".

In the spring of 2007 we had nine brown bear hunters and all the hunters had opportunities at the bear of their choice. The largest 2007 spring brown bear harvested was 11' 2" and the estimated weight of the bear was 1200 pounds. During the spring hunt two of our hunters passed up bear looking for bigger bears. Our hunts include 10 or 12 days of hunting weather permitting.

During our fall of 2007 hunt we had seven hunters that harvested or passed up the bears of their choice. Our largest 2007 fall brown bear squared 10'-5" other bears harvested were two 9'-0", one 8'-6", and one 7'-8". One of our 2007 fall brown bears was taken by an archery hunter and squared 9' 0". One of the other two hunters passed up bears looking for a "Monster Bear" and the last hunter saw bears but just could not get a good shot off.
