Coastal Brown Bear

[ OVERVIEW ]

Our professionally guided and fully outfitted brown bear hunts consistently produce some of Alaska’s largest bears each season. The Coastal Alaska Brown Bear is the big brother to the interior grizzly bear. Our hunting clients have received numerous awards from Safari Club International, the Alaska Professional Hunters Association and Boone & Crockett. On three occasions, receiving the World Hunt Award for “Best North American Trophy” and twice for the “Number One” SCI Brown Bear, outscoring all Kodiak bears.

We hunt thousands of square miles of Alaska’s finest brown bear and moose habitat on the remote Alaska Peninsula in Game Management Unit 9E. This area is specifically managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as a trophy brown bear area. Our seasons and bag limits are the strictest in Alaska simply to assure serious sportsmen, who travel this far, the best opportunity to obtain a world record class trophy. Once you harvest a trophy bear from this area, you cannot return to hunt with us for four regulatory years. We are allowed to limit our own harvest in our guide use area, so no permit drawing is required. We can guarantee your ability to obtain your hunting license and brown bear tag.
