Bears

BLACK AND BROWN BEARS

All trophies are cared for in a professional manner. Hides and skulls are brought back from the field where our guides flesh the hide and turn the ears, nose, lips, eyes and remove the feet/knuckles from the trophy. Once complete, our guides will salt the hide to preserve the trophy for the next step in taxidermy to insure your trophy will arrive to our expediter in Anchorage safely. Our skinning and fleshing services are included in the cost of your hunt. All hides and skulls are tagged with our hunter’s name, address and contact information along with a separate tag with your taxidermist information before it leaves our lodge to the expediter. Expediting fees are not included in the cost of your Alaskan Hunt.

BROWN BEARS

Our area carries a high volume of Brown Bear as our lodge is located on one of the largest salmon run rivers in all of Alaska. Our home river provides Brown Bear with a world class run of Coho Salmon assuring them plenty of protein to prepare for winter hibernation so it is only natural to hold a high volume of mature brown bears. We offer both spring and fall hunts here at Alaska Expedition along with lodge based hunts and out camps in prime brown bear habitat. Unit 06 allows hunters to hunt spring or fall every year as we do not have an alternating season like Kodiak or the Alaska Peninsula. We target spring bear April-May and fall bear September-October. One brown bear may be taken by a hunter every regulatory year and does not count against the harvest of one brown bear every four years as other areas of Alaska do. Brown Bear, Trophy Moose and Mountain Goat seasons overlap allowing for a world-class combo hunt.

BLACK BEARS

The North Gulf Coast & Prince William Sound is known for producing some of the largest black bear in the state of Alaska. Unit 06 provides black bears with premium habitat from Glacial moraines and coastal grass lands to berry covered slopes at higher elevations. Our spring hunts consist of targeting black bears at lower elevations where they forage on new spring growth and wild strawberries as where our fall hunts generally take place at high elevations that consist of fall berry crop. The black bears taken in our hunting area are known for their supreme thick black coats and excellent claws. Black bear hunts may also be added onto any of our other trophy big game hunts.
