Alaska Bear Hunting: Amazing Adventure

from: Maxx Sports Guides



Alaska Bear hunting provide some of the best hunting stories you could ever imagine. An adventure most just dream about can become a reality for you if you spend some time searching online for Alaska bear hunting opportunities and locations.

Here's something unique for an Alaska bear hunting opportunity, vessel based hunts -- conducted off a floating base mobile camp. The floating base camp is a 60' Little Hoquiam charter yacht. You can also participate in world-class bottom fishing for Halibut and Ling Cod.

This unique way to hunt is in Homer, Alaska and they depart from there to cruise the Kenai Peninsula. The usual routine is to glass the shoreline for bear as most are taken on the shoreline. These bears are spotted and then stalked in a fair hunt. With 18 - 20 hours of daylight each day, Alaska bear hunting can't get any better. All the fish you catch will be vacuum packed for freshness. Hunters are responsible for the cape and meat from their harvest themselves.

Remember, if you do book an Alaska bear hunting trip, Alaska is famous for its bad weather. Therefore, it's best to arrive in Alaska a day or two before your hunt starts and make sure you leave room at the end of the hunt as well for weather delays. This is more prevalent in the spring, but fall hunts can have bad weather as well.

Also note for your Alaska bear hunting trip: there's a better chance of having a good hunt if you're in good physical shape. All staking is done on foot and a lot of rough ground is covered. You may also be out camping for several nights in spike camps. Bring warm gear, but you don't necessarily need "arctic gear".

The most important item to bring is a fur-lined hat with flaps to cover your ears. Some outfitters provide you with artic gear, which saves you packing it. Check with your outfitter before you leave for your Alaska bear hunting adventure.

Keep in mind, some Alaska bear hunting methods are perfect for a hunter who prefers close-range weapons like the bow, muzzleloader, or handgun. There's a slight element of danger that makes it all the more exciting.

If you hunt with a gun or bow, whatever you'd use on deer works fine on bears. A low behind the front leg shot drops a bear within 50 yards just about every time. Remember, any shot you do get is often at close range under low light conditions. Sight your weapon accordingly.
