Grizzly Bear Hunting
Grizzly bears are abundant in the Talkeetna Mountains of interior Alaska. Glassing valleys rich with blueberries and migratory routes is a sure fire way to encounter these nomadic bears.
We hunt game unit 13, the only unit in Alaska that is open to grizzly bear hunting year-round. However the best times for hunting are April, May, June, August, September and October when the bears' hides are still at their prime. We do offer a late July hunts amd October Grizzly Bear hunts for those wishing to hunt bears on an active salmon stream. Our late July, early August hunt for 2005 lasted six hours, resulting in a 7’9” boar being taken by lunchtime.
Colors vary greatly from blonde to dark chocolate to silver and range in size from 7’ to 9’+. Rifles in the .30 caliber range are best and the .338’s are also very well suited for grizzly bear hunting.
Be prepared for hunting condition shots at less than 200 yards. We have hunts available during April, May, June, July, August, September and October.. Black bear can be incidentally taken free of charge on any grizzly hunt and wolves are free of charge for hunts that take place after August 10.
Hunting is done on foot from a base camp. Each day will involve walking 3-6 miles and glassing from vantage points that offer the best chance at locating bears. Hunters should be in decent physical condition and be prepared to carry a small daypack of approximately 25lbs.
