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 Lost Coast" of Alaska. 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 in Icy Bay from a base camp with running water for flush toilets and a hot shower. 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 such meals as New York Steaks, crab and sea foods, fruits and vegetables, desserts, and plenty of snacks and beverages. A hunt for Alaska Black Bear offers the ultimate experience in Alaska Trophy Hunting. On a 5 day hunting experience one should see between 20 and 40 Black Bear. Your Alaska Black Bear Hunt starts in Yakutat when you are flown by air charter to Icy Bay.

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 explore the smaller coves and the head of Bay where the Black Bear can be found munching of the new grass. If you prefer we also hunt from stands where we condition the Black Bear and can select the larger boars. Most of these Black Bear will make the record book. This is the best time for a bow hunter as one can often get some very close shots. These spring hunts have been 100% successful since we began hunting in Icy Bay. In the spring of 2009 we took 8 Black Bear with 7 making the record book. Four of these Black Bear were 7 foot or better with the largest Black Bear measuring 7 foot 6 inches. In the Fall, the hunt is concentrated on the logged off areas and some of the berry patches near shore and around the Salmon stream. 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 Silver Salmon. The Silver runs are world class on "The Lost Coast."

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, this Alaska Black Bear Hunt will be remembered as one of your most outstanding hunting experiences!
