ALASKAN BOAT HUNT
TYPICALLY 100% SUCCESS
SPRING AND FALL HUNTS
This outfitter takes 5 spring hunters and 2
fall hunters each year. Last spring on the first 2 hunts, with 2
hunters on each hunt, all 4 hunters took boars just under 9-foot with
24-inch skulls. The last spring hunt, he only takes one hunter,
took an 8’10” boar with a skull just shy of 25 inches. On his fall
hunt one hunter took a 8 1/2-footer and the other hunter missed a giant
10-foot type bear at 68 yards and elected to pass on the next 24 bears
looking for another of that caliber.
In 2010 on the spring hunt all five bears squared from
8 ½ to 9-foot. In the fall both hunters were tagged out by day 3
after looking over quite a few bears. One squared at 8’9” and the
other 9’1” and had a 26-inch skull.
Past 7 springs have been 100% success for all 5
hunters. Fall hunts had been 100% success also except for 2011 and
one hunter in 2009 that passed on 52 bears up to 9-foot.
This has been a very high
success hunt priced at only $13,500 for 10 days.
Spring hunts are April 30 to May 9, May 11 to 20, 22 to 31 and black
bear can be added on the last hunt for $3,500. Fall hunt is September
15 to 24. Accommodations are on his 48-foot yacht with 6 bunks and a
shower. Hunters fly into Juneau and charter a float
plane to the yacht for under $250 roundtrip. Non-hunters are priced at
$2,500. One remaining opening for 2012, May 22 to 31.



Here are the 2 bears taken this fall. One measured 8’
9” with a 24 ½” skull and the other 9’1” with a 26” skull. Both hunters were
tagged out in 3 days and enjoyed some fishing the remaining days. The
largest bear taken on this hunt in past years had a 27-inch skull and it was
also taken on a fall hunt.
