Spring Bear

For those looking to hunt Bear, and only Bear, I offer spring hunts in the Brooks Range, Bristol Bay and the Seward Peninsula.  Each are novel hunts.  The bears of the Brooks are generally smaller than those on the Seward Peninsula, but they have unusually blond and silver-tipped coloration.  The scenery of the Brooks is incomparable.  To hunt on the Seward Peninsula, hunters must apply for a permit one year in advance.  The bears have access to salmon and caribou, and therefore, are 6 to 12 inches larger, on average, than the Brooks bears.

Transportation is left to the professional.  Due to rising insurance costs and new regulations, I no longer fly clients in my own airplane.  It is nearly impossible to both fly and guide, and I prefer to guide.  Round-trip charter flights from Fairbanks, Kotzebue, or Dillingham to base camps cost $1,000USD.  I will schedule your flight, but payment is made directly to the air carrier.  Meat can be left in camp, and I will fly it out separately.

We provide a variety of hunts and quality service for your hard-earned money.  Please contact me for a list of references.  Upon booking, I will provide you with a guideline packing list.  I feel confident that you'll be pleased with our service and look forward to hearing from you soon.
