ALASKA PENINSULA BROWNIES EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE NATIVE LAND SPRING $33,000 FALL $28,000
This Alaska Peninsula hunt is on the southeastern side of the peninsula, one of the top brown bear trophy areas. The outfitter’s success on large boars past years is mainly due to having exclusive rights to prime native land with 3 major bays and rivers, including over 30 miles of coastline.
2024 spring season ended with 12 hunters tagging 9 boars, including an amazing 6 bears hovering around that 10 foot mark, best went 10 foot 4 inches.
2023 fall season finished with 4 of the 9 hunters tagging bears from 8 foot to just over 9 foot. The 5 unsuccessful hunters were all in one group and only stayed for 4 days and saw plenty of bears but elected not to shoot any.
Spring hunts are normally conducted on even numbered years like 2026 and then in 2028, from May 10 to 31 Fall hunts are on odd years like 2025 and then 2027, from October 1 to 21. Spring hunts are $33,000 and fall hunts are priced at $28,000 and also the easier time to hunt. Rates are for the entire season, stay until you kill, and most hunters are successful in 7 to 9 days. A packer can be hired for $200 per day.
Hunts can be conducted out of base camp with the use of 4 wheelers or jet boats, but mainly this is a spike camp operation. Round trip flights from Anchorage to Sand Point run about $1,200 and the flight from Sand Point to base camp is included in the price. Hunt BR781. BR781 Hunt Photos.
ALASKA BROWN BEAR BOAT HUNT $30,000 10 HUNTING DAYS
Here is a highly successful southeast Alaska outfitter with over 30 years of experience that is not high profile like most of his competitors. He is not into doing sports shows or taking TV personalities and he does not shoot sows or small boars.
