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 June, August and September when the bears' hides are still at their prime. We do offer a late July hunt for those wishing to hunt bears on or near and 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 duringMay, June, July, August and September. 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.

 

 

 

 

"Jake and I planned a grizzly bear hunt on short notice. His knowledge of his grizzly hunting areas is very good and we were covered up in bears on Day 1 and I took my bear the same day. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone considering a bear hunt." Joe Gilbert

If you will get in decent shape, he has the area, ability and desire to produce a great hunt and acquire a wonderful trophy.  He is no nonsense and nonstop in trying to get your animal and a great individual as well!"
