Alaska Black Bear Hunting

Alaska Black Bear Hunting is conducted in Prince William Sound in unit 6 along the rugged coastline. These big salmon-fed Bears are just coming out of hibernation & have some of the best hide quality anywhere on the planet. Cruising the coastal shorelines and glassing the tidal flats produce plenty of stalking opportunities. This area has one of the highest Bear populations in the state. Bears typically range between 6′ – 7′ square.

Transportation and accommodations are aboard our comfortable live-aboard vessel “Alaskan Adventurer”. This is the ultimate ‘man cruise’; a whale watching and glacier tour where you can also kill Bears, catch fish & shrimp, & eat fresh seafood. Large boars with perfect hides are the norm, & this is how a Black Bear hunt should be! Past clients have nicknamed this trip the ‘caddillac of Bear hunts’!

- Daily Routine -

Our Alaska Black Bear Hunting is done in the spring and these bear hunts are our most relaxing hunts! Like to sleep in? Well this is your dream hunt. Mornings are spent hanging out on Castaways swapping hunting stories, watching hunting DVD, and just relaxing. Breakfast is typically served around 10am, it is a full on hunters breakfast – eggs, bacon, hashbrown, pancakes, ect.

We then head out to pull the shrimp pots so that we can have fresh spot prawns for dinner after hunting! After we pull the pots and maybe catch a few rock fish, we then get ready to go hunt for the day. We normally push off in the skiffs around 3pm. Prime time for the big boys we are looking for is typically right at dusk. The big guys are pretty nocturnal even in early spring, so we are catching them right as they come out to feed. We typically travel back Castaways in the dark, almost at midnight. We then get settled in and start cooking dinner, which is normally served between midnight and 2am. And now you know why we have a relaxing morning!
