2012 Grizzly Bear Hunts
We
hunt two very different areas for grizzly bear. Hunts conducted in the Kotzebue
area are for "Arctic" grizzly. These hunts are conducted north of the Arctic Circle in the fall season. The bear in this region have a wide color variation, with light blonde being the predominant color. Bear in this area typically range from 6.5 to a little over 8 feet. These are spot and stalk, fair chase hunts. Days will be spent glassing mountain sides for bear feeding on blueberries, roaming the tundra, feeding on a recent moose or caribou carcass, or feeding on late run salmon in rivers. This is a great hunt to "combo" with
for Caribou! The hunts in this area are on a draw basis, and require advance
application.
The hunts in the Iliamna area offer bear, which tend to be a bit darker in color and slightly larger on average. These hunts are also spot and stalk, fair chase hunts, and are done in early spring and fall. Spring hunts are spent glassing mountain slopes searching for bear as they come out of hibernation. Fall hunts are spent primarily glassing mountain slopes for bear feeding on berries, or working small streams as the bear feed on salmon. Tags for this hunt are available "over the counter."
