With over-the-counter tags available you can plan for this hunt well in advance. We offer a very unique experience in that we lease private land that only our clients may hunt. Not to be confused with a sole federal guide concession where resident hunters are also competing with you. We also have access to the adjacent public land to hunt as well.

This above question is often asked, with each season having its own unique benefits. Spring hunts offer more daylight to spot and stalk. It also typically has better weather. Big boars are pursuing females as the mating season is starting to pick up. Spring bears can start rubbing, thus finding a premium hide may be more difficult than in the fall.
Fall bears are still feeding on salmon and adding the last of the fat stores they need before winter’s hibernation. This can concentrate bear sightings not witnessed during spring hunts. Hides are typically at a premium in preparation for colder temperatures.
For fall hunts, we also offer a Sitka black-tail deer hunt as an add-on.
Our hunting area is known for unique color phases of bears ranging between 7’- 9’ with a few bears skulls in excess of 24”. We use snowmobiles and 8-wheel Argos to find the largest predator on the Arctic Tundra. Most of these bears have had little human contact and consider everything as a possible food source.
We target the spring season when big boars are traveling and looking for females as well as food after a long winter’s hibernation. This area is barren of trees and makes glassing highly effective.
These bears are located near the Arctic Circle and in my 13 years guiding I have never found a blemished hide. The coats are thick and flawless, unlike their coastal cousins. If you ever wanted an interior grizzly this is a great opportunity with high success.
