Bear Hunting Adventures in Southeast Alaska

from: Maxx Sports Guides



If you're looking for the best adventure of your life, bear hunting in southeast Alaska is hyper exhilarating. It's a good idea to research the area before you leave home, even on the type of bear hunting in southeast Alaska you're interested ing. Since there are several different types of bears to choose from, it all depends on which one appeals to you most.

Learn a bear's body language which will help you if you surprise one or encounter a Mama bear protecting her cubs. If you should encounter a bear, watch for signs that indicate you're too close. These signs include ears back and looking you directly in the eyes. It may also make woofing, barking, or moaning sounds to reinforce it feels threatened. If the bear isn't up to trophy standard for you, listen to your guide for instructions on how to retreat from a bear.

Be prepared for any eventuality while bear hunting in southeast Alaska. Don't try to outrun a bear as it can reach speeds of 30 to 35 miles per hour. If a bear snaps its teeth and appears extremely agitated, it will most likely charge you. Often, bear charges are bluff charges. This means the bear will either stop short or veer off and run right past you.

Be forewarned, however, that this may happen many times before the bear leaves or attacks from a different angle. If the bear knocks you down, he or she is trying to eliminate a threat and will use whatever force it feels necessary to remove it.

Your guide will tell you that females with offspring and the offspring themselves should never be killed. What you harvest in terms of bear meat must be thoroughly cooked to prevent a parasitic disease fatal to humans called trichinosis. Trichinosis is mainly caused by eating improperly cooked wild game meats, like bear and elk. Trichinosis is also more resistant to freezing, so this method may not kill all worms and diseases.

You may want to spend time scoping prospective bears prior to shooting while bear hunting in southeast Alaska. Check the fur for poor quality hide -- bare spots, mainly. This will also prevent you from shooting a cub or a female with cubs. Eventually, you'll find a bear to harvest that's a quality trophy for your den.

Your foray into the depths of bear hunting in southeast Alaska will prove fruitful if you use an accredited, experienced guide. Check into the reputation of all the potential guides. Most will be happy to provide references.
