Alaska #3: **Call for Pricing and Date Availability
Hunt the Alaska Range (Unit 16B). Brown bears are abundant and you have equally good options of either a lodge-based hunt or a float hunt down a remote river.The lodge hunts may take place in either spring or fall.The spring hunts start with a hearty breakfast in the main lodge followed by a snowmobile ride up above treeline,where the day is spent glassing for bears that have just emerged from their dens on the surrounding slopes. Once a bear is spotted, the stalk is made on snowshoes. This is a great time to be in the Alaska outback as the skies are blue and the snowy peaks provide a great backdrop for glassing bears. The fall hunts involve spike camping above treeline and hiking the river bottoms or hillsides in search of bears feeding in blueberry patches. Another option is to float hunt on a remote Class II river. The river has several salmon runs and bears are attracted to the abundant food supply. Here you will camp every night among fresh bear tracks and stalk the pools and shallows for feeding bears. You may also combo your bear hunt with other species dependent on the season.
