Grizzly Bear Hunting: Stalk, Shoot, Trophy Record

from: Maxx Sports Guides



Grizzly bear hunting is world famous in Alaska and is also known as Brown bear hunting. Brownies, as they're also called, are very plentiful in certain Alaskan game management units. Grizzly bear hunting in Management Unit 9, for instance, will be more than just a good day's harvest. Unit 9 has one of the largest populations of Grizzly bears (Brownies) in the world. In fact, the current world record Grizzly bear was taken from Alaska Game Management Unit 21.

Although Grizzly bear and Brown bears are regarded as interchangeable, most guides and outfitters will tell you otherwise. Guides with years of experience say that Brownies live along the coastal regions (usually within 100 miles of the shoreline of Alaska). Grizzlies, on the other hand, live in the interior regions of the state. (North of the 62nd parallel). However, they're also quick to point out that Brownies and Grizzlies are genetically the same animal. Brown bears tend to be bigger physically than those found Grizzly bear hunting, simply because the climate they live in is more temperate and they eat high protein, high fat salmon all year.

In order to get ready to go Grizzly bear hunting, there are certain consideratios you must have in order to make your hunt successful. Your rifle must be 30 caliber or larger and the barrel channel glass bedded. Your best bet is a rife that shoots consistent groups in all weather conditions. You're also responsible for a number of other items such as your ammo, sleeping bags, personal items etc.

Some alcohol is allowed in camp, so long as it's in moderation. You can carry up to 50 pounds of gear on the bush plane that flies Grizzly bear hunting clients to base camp and make sure you remember to bring your firearms permit.

Alaska outfitters are required by state law to salvage meat from Grizzly bear hunting and other harvested game animals. If you want to take bear meat home, you can, however it's highly unlikely, given the size of some of the Grizzly bear hunting harvests you'd be able to handle that much meat. The meat is donated to food banks and other sources that put the meat to good use.

If your destination of choice to go Grizzly bear hunting is Alaska, you should know their tag system is rather unique. Basically tags of equal or lower dollar value can be used for different species. So, as an example, species dollar value (highest to lowest) are: Brown bear, Moose, Caribou, Black bear, Wolverine and Wolf.

Which means your Brown bear or Grizzly bear hunting tag can be used for any species mentioned -- and so on. Hunters like this system because it provides them with lots of choicesas well as more hunting opportunities.
