Coastal Black Bear Hunts in Southeast Alaska

Additional Species:

DESCRIPTION:

Experience some of the finest hunting available in Southeast Alaska for Trophy Coastal Black Bears. This outfitter operates in the serene inside passage waters in Southeast Alaska. They have a variety of adventures that they offer ranging from saltwater fishing for all five species of pacific salmon, halibut, and a multitude of bottom fish, to freshwater fishing for salmon, trout, and steelhead. They also have fully guided Big Game Hunts for Coastal Black Bears, Mountain Goats, and Sitka Blacktail Deer, as well as Waterfowl Hunting.

This is a spot and stalk hunt which takes place by boat in the bays and inlets of Southeast Alaska. Wildlife is abundant on these hunts and allows you an excellent opportunity to view whales, porpoises, seals, and sea lions. On the beaches, many small animals such as Mink, Pine Martin, and Land Otters may be seen as well as Sitka Blacktail Deer, Wolves, Bald Eagles, and the ever-present Black Bear.

In the spring, bears gather on the beaches and tidal flats while in search of Crabs, Mussels, and green grasses. In the fall they congregate on the salmon spawning streams and berry patches. This is a high success hunt which offers multiple opportunities at bears that average 7 foot squared. On average they see between 5 to 15 bears per day.

For the fall combo hunts, there's a 2-deer limit per hunter, and the pricing of this hunt includes harvesting both. Some bucks may still have velvet on the antlers and sleeker reddish colored summer coats during the earlier months. Expect anything from blue skies and sun to heavy rain and wind on both Spring (April, May, and June) and fall (September and October) hunts. They commonly set crab and shrimp pots while hunting as well.

These black bear hunts are not very physically demanding and tend to be both relaxing and enjoyable, making it a great hunt for two or more such as father and son/daughter groups. If you wish to extend your trip, other activities such as salt and freshwater fishing or waterfowl hunting can be added depending on the time of the year.

All bear hunts offer the opportunity to combine fresh or saltwater fishing, fall Sitka Blacktail Deer, and waterfowl if you wish to extend your visit. Staying at their bed and breakfast for an extended stay after the hunt is something that should be considered. Their Bed & Breakfast is a private 2 bedroom unit with a living area, full kitchen, and a bath. For the bedrooms, the 1st bedroom has a double bed and a single, 2nd bedroom has 3 single beds. The living area has a couch, TV, DVD player, table, chairs, and Internet accessibility. They can sleep up to six comfortably. Every morning fresh muffins, fruit, cereal, and juice are served. If you prefer a hot breakfast your refrigerator is stocked with eggs, bacon, and different kinds of bread for toast. And of course, there is always coffee!

Whether you are planning to visit by cruise ship, Alaska Airlines, or the Alaska Marine Highway… this outfitter has the adventure and accommodations that will surpass all of your expectations.
