Experience some of the finest hunting available on Prince of Wales Island and Misty Fjords for Trophy Coastal Black Bears. This is a spot and stalk hunt which takes place by boat in the bays and inlets of Southeast Alaska. Wildlife is abundant on these hunts and allows you an excellent opportunity to view whales, porpoises, seals, and sea lions. On the beaches, many small animals such as Mink, Pine Martin, and Land Otters may be seen as well as Sitka Blacktail Deer, Wolves, Bald Eagles, and the ever-present Black Bear.
In the spring, bears gather on the beaches and tidal flats while in search of Crabs, Mussels, and green grasses. In the fall they congregate on the salmon spawning streams and berry patches. This is a high success hunt which offers multiple opportunities at bears that average 7 foot squared. On average we see between 5 to 15 bears per day.
Expect anything from blue skies and sun to heavy rain and wind on both Spring (April, May, and June) and fall (September and October) hunts. We commonly set crab and shrimp pots while hunting.
The black bear hunts are not very physically demanding and tend to be both relaxing and enjoyable making it a great hunt for two or more such as father and son groups. If you wish to extend your trip, other activities such as salt and freshwater fishing or waterfowl hunting can be added depending on the time of the year.
Base Price includes 2x1 guided hunt and 8% sales tax. 1x1 guiding and non-hunter guests are an additional fee.
