From stalking massive brown bears to glassing migrating caribou across the tundra, hunters will experience the best of Alaska’s rugged wilderness with one of the most trusted and proven outfitters in the region. The price point on this hunt is unbeatable and will soon become a hunt that will have to be booked out years in advance!

Brown Bear: Hunting the legendary Alaska Peninsula brown bear is an awe-inspiring adventure. Mature boars in this region regularly measure over 9 feet, with some exceeding 1,200 pounds. These hunts involve glassing river valleys, tidal flats, and salmon streams, followed by strategic stalks into range of a mature bear. The outfitter takes very few bear hunters annually, allowing for a high-success, low-pressure hunt. With an experienced guide and packer (1×2 ratio), hunters receive expert guidance, safety, and support throughout the pursuit.

Caribou: In addition to brown bears, hunters have the opportunity to pursue the impressive Barren-Ground Caribou of the Alaskan tundra. Known for their large, sweeping antlers and annual migrations, these caribou present an exciting challenge and the chance to add a second iconic Arctic trophy to the hunt. The outfitter has a long track record of producing outstanding caribou success, making this combination one of the most rewarding Alaskan adventures available. This is not like the north slope where you will see a herd of thousands of animals. The southern Alaska Peninsula herd is an isolated herd which Alaska Department of Fish and Game say they want to keep the herd between 2500-4500 animals. They are much more spread out in smaller groups ranging from a single animal to groups of 10-20 animals. Discuss with your guide prior to hunting what you are looking for in a trophy caribou. Most of the groups of bull caribou typically have a couple shooter bulls in them. The trophy possibility in this area is high and the population seems to be doing very well.

Hunters will fly to Cold Bay Alaska typically a day or two prior to the beginning of the hunt. The outfitter will fly hunters out to camps as soon as weather and daylight permits. All hunts unless otherwise arranged are two hunters to one guide. The hunt often involves glassing vast expanses of tundra to locate herds, followed by a stalk to get within shooting range. Because these caribou are constantly on the move, hunters must be prepared for a challenging pursuit across varied terrain.

ACCOMMODATIONS:
Comfortable heated tent camps outfitted with cots, lanterns, and all the essentials. Hunters enjoy hearty, home-cooked meals rather than freeze-dried rations. With it being a tent style hunt, so plan your clothing accordingly. The terrain here can very from tundra, marshes, beaches and rocky hills. Waterproof hiking boots and either waders or hip boots, whichever you prefer hiking in are strongly recommended. The weather here is typically wet and windy and at times can be some of the worst you have hunted in. The winds do and can reach over 100 miles per hour at times and we typically see storms with winds around 50 mph every year. With the winds come the rain so heavy duty rain gear is a good idea. You frequently see very large brown bear, caribou, walrus, whale, porpoise, seal, sea otter, fox, wolves, bald eagle and this time of year the streams are full of silver salmon, dolly varden and steelhead!
