General Black Bear Hunting Information
FEES: Hunting fees include
all meals and services during your hunt. Included are guide services,
transportation in the field, and field preservation of trophies.
Trophies may be sent to your taxidermist by an expediter. You pay
final trophy preparation, crating, and shipping costs. Fees do not
include your license, tags, transportation to the point of outfitting,
4% sales taxes for hunts in the Yakutat Borough, hotel accommodations
before during or after the hunt, liquor or gratuities. The point
of departure is Yakutat, Alaska. An air charter is required to reach
the base camp in Icy Bay. These hunts may be conducted in Icy Bay
under Exclusive Lease Permits from CAC or the Mental Health Land
Trust. Black Bear meat is salvaged in the Spring and can be taken
home or given to the village elders in Yakutat. Commercial processing
services are available for your convenience if you decide to take
your meat home.
NON HUNTERS: A limited number
of non-hunting guests can be accommodated. The fee is $2,500 on
Vessel Hunts and $2,000 on our land based Black Bear hunts. Please
let us know well in advance so accommodations can be arranged and
reserved.

on a fair-chase basis in accordance with State of Alaska Hunting
and Guiding Regulations. A Guide/Client contract will be signed
when the hunt is booked.

calibers for Alaska Black Bear Hunting are the .300 to .375
Magnums. Forty cartridges are generally adequate. Be sure that the
