COASTAL BLACK BEAR
SPRING • APRIL - MAY
ABOUT THE HUNT
7 DAY TRIP • 1 HUNTER WITH COASTAL BLACK BEAR INCLUDED.
( OBSERVERS WELCOME WITH OBSERVER FEE )
EASY TRIP • GUIDED
RIFLE HUNTING • STALKING
We invite you to gather up your hip boots and a good rifle and come hunt some of the finest black bear country in the world!
These bears are fresh out from hibernation. They grow large due to the maritime environment that offers ample salmon, rock crabs, sedges, berries, and sea life. The long days and mild temperatures of Spring makes for easy days afield.
Our big boat is base camp and we use 16' skiffs to spot from. It is common to see big boars chasing sows as they come into rut. The grouse are booming in the mountains, steel head are headed up the streams from salt water, the songbirds are back from their trip South. These days afield are the nectar of a new year beginning.
A big boar black bear will give you a gorgeous trophy; and if you are game to try, the meat makes wonderful stew meat, swiss steak, and Summer sausage. This is a great trip for both the trophy hunter looking for a book animal and the young hunter desiring a first animal.

WOUNDING:
A wounded brown or black bear is the hunters animal per Alaska state law. Other wounded big game is fulfillment of the trip and may be subject to a trophy fee, depending on circumstances.
CANCELLATION:
If a trip is cancelled before the 90 day period a 10% fee is charged. If the hunt is resold the remaining 40% is returned. If we need to reduce the price of the trip to move it, we use as much of that 40% as is needed to resell the trip. If there is any remaining of the 40% we return that portion. If a trip is cancelled within the 90 day period we retain 50% and try to resell the trip. If we can we return the remaining 50% we do. If we need to use a portion of remaining deposit to resell the trip as “discounted” we do so. If no hunter may be found within the 90 day prior period we may opt. to keep 100%, although thus far all trips like this have been sold as discounted.
