Alaska Bear Hunting, the Spinner of Daring Adventure Stories

from:


Alaska Bear hunting will provide you with some of the best hunting stories you could ever hope to imagine. An adventure most just dream about can become a reality for you with just a few clicks of the mouse and some time spent searching 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. New areas for Alaska bear hunting can be found daily. Additionally you can participate in world-class bottom fishing for the likes of Halibut and Ling Cod.

This unique way to hunt is located in Homer, Alaska and they depart from that harbor 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 than this. Your fish catch will be vacuum packed for freshness. Hunters are responsible for the cape and meat from their harvest themselves.

One thing to remember if you do book an Alaska bear hunting trip, is that Alaska is famous for its bad weather. So, arrive in Alaska a day or two before your hunt starts, and make sure to leave room at the end of the hunt as well for weather delays. This is more prevalent in the Spring, but Fall hunt can have its moments as well.

Other things to note for your Alaska bear hunting trip are: you stand a better chance of having a good hunt if you are not in bad 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. You should bring warm gear, but don't necessarily need "arctic gear". The most important item is a fur-lined hat with flaps to cover the ears. Some outfitters provide you with artic gear, and that saves you packing it. Check with your chosen outfitter before you leave for your Alaska bear hunting adventure.

Keep in mind that 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.
