Brown Bear
Hunt BR781
HUNT ALASKA’S PENINSULA
FOR MONSTER BROWNIES
5 OVER 10-FOOT SPRING 2012
STAY UNTIL YOU KILL
Last fall this outfit had 9 hunters tag 8 Peninsula brown bears. Best bear went just under 10-foot
and most bears squared between 9 and 9 and a half feet. The unsuccessful
hunter was 84, ran out of medication and had to leave early.
Spring of 2012 this outfit took 10 brownies and 5 were over 10-foot,
10’7”, and 2 at 10’6”, 10’4” and a 10’1”. They also took a 9 ½ footer that
made Boone and Crockett. This outfit has done tremendous past years mainly
due to having exclusive rights to prime native land with 3 major bays and
rivers, including over 30 miles of coastline. Just look over the past years
stats. This Alaskan Peninsula
hunt in Unit 9 takes place near Sand Point on the southern side of the
peninsula, one of the top brown bear trophy areas.
Fall of 2011 all 8 hunters took boars, including a 10’4” with a 28
½-skull and 4 more at 9 ½ feet.
Spring of 2010 when most outfits were experiencing very deep snows and
extremely bad weather with high winds on the north side of the
Peninsula, this outfitter was just fine due to their specific
location on the southeast side along the Pacific. They went 10 for 12,
including 2 record book bears with one measuring over 29 inches and the
other over 28. 3 bears squared out over 10-foot.
Fall of 2009 went 10 for 12 and 2 hunters had to leave early after
only 7 days due to commitments. In the spring of 2008 his hunters went 10
for 10 and they took an amazing 6 bears over 10-foot. Normally they will
take 3 or 4 over 10-foot on this hunt.
Spring hunts, May 10 to 31, are $21,000 and fall hunts,
October 1 to 21, are priced the same.
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.

included in the price. One opening remained at press time for spring of 2014
and several for fall of 2015. Hunt
