GRIZZLY BEAR HUNTS
Alaska: **Call for Pricing and Date Availability
Hunt Alaska's Chisana Valley, the site of the last great gold rush.Located within the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, this guide area (GMU 12) is 65 miles long and 55 miles wide and is only accessible by aircraft.The Hard Park Boundary borders the area on two sides, and hunting is prohibited in the Hard Park. Due to the position of the guide area in relation to the Park's boundaries,Grizzlies roam freely into the hunting area out of the Hard Park, and as a result there are some fine trophies to hunt.This remote area supports a very healthy population as evidenced by the fact that a hunter can harvest a bear every year instead of one every four years like many other areas.These bears are true Mountain Grizzlies that never leave the Chisana Valley.However, they do travel a lot, and spend time in the timber and around the glaciers eating berries and digging up ground squirrels.After chartering into the main lodge, you will set out on horseback to one of many spike camps. Horses afford you the luxury of covering rough terrain, crossing rivers and packing a very comfortable camp deep into game country where no other vehicle or even aircraft can go. Spot and stalk will be the final leg of your quest for a trophy bear. Spring hunts are weather dependent and occur during April and May when the bears wake up and start emerging from their dens. The fall hunts begin on August 10th and run through the end of September and can be set up as a combo hunt with Dall Sheep and/or Moose.
