Hunting the World's Largest Brown/Grizzly Bear

Hunting the World's Largest Brown/Grizzly Bear

 
We hunt the famous and productive Game Management Unit 9 southwest of Anchorage for big brownies. Unit 9 has one of the largest populations of brown bears in the world -- and many world record bear waiting to be taken. Best of all is that we have exclusive bear hunting rights in the very heart of one of the best areas on the peninsula. This means no competition from other hunters. It also allows us to manage the harvest maximizing size & numbers of bears for our clients.

Alaska's trophy bear area

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has designated the Alaska Peninsula as a trophy bear hunting area for game management purposes. The goal is to produce bears of the largest possible size for sportsmen.

To accomplish this, seasons have been restricted since 1976. Fall hunts take place in October of odd years (i.e. 2011, 2013 etc.) and spring hunts take place in May of even years (i.e.2010, 2012 etc.). The technique has proven to be quite successful.

Before we go any farther, it's important to know that in Alaska you can shoot only one brown bear every four years in most areas here in Alaska. 

Success

Though success on brown bear is over 90%, and many years we have enjoyed 100% success, it's inevitable that occasionally a hunter will go home without a bear. For some it will simply be a matter that they held out for a really large bear, others will not be willing to hunt in bad weather and for a very few the circumstances and game movement just will not fall in their favor. Regardless, occasionally we do have clients go home without the bear they came for.

Most clients are successful within the first 10 days of the hunt and there really is no need to commit to the extra expense of a longer stay. If for some reason you do not take your bear in this time frame, you may extend your hunt on a daily basis if your schedule will allow.
