Alaska Black Bear Hunts
Alaska’s stunning landscapes, ranging from rolling grassy hills to towering mountains, are home to a thriving population of large Black Bears. This makes it a truly beautiful place to visit and an exciting destination for bear hunters.
In the fall, as the bears leave their summer fishing spots, they begin actively feeding on the abundant berries along the hillsides during daylight hours. This creates an ideal environment for a classic and rewarding spot-and-stalk hunting experience. Our remote hunting areas are situated miles away from any city or village, offering a truly secluded wilderness experience with minimal human presence.
The Alaskan Black Bear is a magnificent creature with an average lifespan of around 25 years. They are generally solitary animals, with the exception of female bears (sows) accompanied by their cubs.

Black Bear Hunting Methods
Our fleet of Jon boats, equipped with powerful outboard jet motors, provides us with the unique ability to navigate rivers for extensive distances, accessing numerous smaller streams that feed the main waterways. This allows for flexible hunting strategies, utilizing spike camps in remote areas or returning to the comfort of our base camp each night. This method offers a significant advantage, as other hunters cannot simply fly in and land along the river where our jet boats operate, granting us exclusive access to prime habitats untouched by others.
Our Alaska Hunting Camps
Our River Base Camps provide our most comfortable accommodations. You will have a fantastic opportunity to harvest Alaska Black Bears, Brown/Grizzly Bears, Moose, and Caribou without the rigors of spike camp hunting. While good physical condition enhances your experience, these camps offer amenities like spacious dining and common-use wall tents with wood stoves and propane cooking. We have generators for power, hot showers, outhouse toilets, and comfortable cots in your sleeping quarters. Satellite phones are available for communication and emergencies. Our guides document your hunt and daily activities with video cameras to preserve your Alaskan memories.
