Grizzly Bear

Hunt GR247

ALASKA INTERIOR GRIZZLY
ONLY ONE HUNTER IN ELEVEN
YEARS DID NOT SCORE

This hunt continues to be one of the best grizzly hunts in North America. Fall of 2013 he had 5 hunters take 5 grizzlies, most in the 7 ½ to 8 ½-foot class. In 2012 all 7 grizzly hunters took home an interior grizzly.

This area east of Kotzebue is well known for numbers and quality of bears due to the draw system. Even though the odds of drawing a tag are near 90% most hunters decline to put in.  Hunters can also apply for moose as well.  Hunter success is due to the high numbers of bears with plentiful yielding blueberry mountain sides in his area. He also hunts moose in these same valleys and that also draws the bears. 7-day hunts running September 1 to 20 guided 1x1 are $11,000. Hunters fly into Anchorage then on to Kotzebue, where they charter to camp. This tag is based on a draw with a 90% chance and deadline is December 15 and results are in February. Bear numbers are so high the state allows you to take one every year, no waiting requirements. Moose can also be applied for at the same time for a combo hunt priced at $19,500.
