Kodiak Brown Bear
Hunts take place from a heated-tent style base camp complete with home style meals and personal 1x1 guide service. Glassing throughout the day is the best way to locate these bears in their habitat. The longer daylight and receding snowline of spring make for fantastic brown bear hunting conditions. During fall hunts the bears move less and feed more. Heavily gorged on the salmon from the local stream they spend large parts of the day sleeping on the hillsides. Spring hunts are conducted in late April and early May, fall hunts start October 25th and run into mid November. Bears average around the 8.5 foot mark but can reach sizes well over 10 feet. Our fall hunter for 2007 secured himself a 10’6” boar, with an estimated live weight of 1800 pounds!
Being a drawing hunt, ensures that limited numbers of hunters will be in the field, ensuring quality hunts and some high caliber bears! Be sure to prepare well in advance when planning a Kodiak brown bear hunt, since the drawings are held 6 months before season begins, hunters to need be prepared to enter the drawing well in advance. There is up to a 60 percent success rate on drawing tags for these hunts! For spring hunts the drawing tags place in November. Fall hunt drawing is held in April. The application process is simple and can be handled almost entirely by BRHC. Please contact Jake for information and details on the drawing process.
Hunters must fly to Kodiak Alaska where Jake will meet them and accompany them into the field. Kodiak is serviced by Alaska Airlines and ERA Aviation with several flights daily. Included in the price of the hunt is the air charter to and from camp, food, fuel, trophy prep, tents, cots and guide service. Hunters are responsible for any overnight lodging in Kodiak due to weather delays or flight arrival/departure times, hunting license ($85) and brown bear tag ($500) as well as personal gear and sleeping bag.
