If so, I have the outfitter for you! Longtime outfitter who runs a great hunt and I don't think you'll find bigger black bears.





Hunt these brutes in the Alaskan Inside Passage with your base camp being a 53 foot yacht. Makes moving camp a snap! Expect to see an average of 20 bears a day with most squaring at 7.5 feet. You can deep sea fish while hunting during either spring or fall dates (halibut, cod, shrimp, etc).

Max of 4 hunters per trip with 2 guides and one cook.



We've still got some June 03 openings at $3950 plus tags, 7 days. Taking deposits for 2004 too!



Of course we have really nice brown bears here and lots of sitka deer, mountain goats and too many wolves.

What are you waiting for!

Looks outstanding Ann. Those are some gorgeous blackies..

Looks like a great excuse for another rifle, more reloading dies, new fishing gear, time off work, the use of my wife's crockpot, and a couple more part time jobs. Ann I would love to take that trip. I will be thinking aobut it for a while however. Thanks for the offer.

No need to think about it just DO it!!!

Ann,

Looks like Kuiu Is. or Kupreanof Is. bears? I get a much better deal on those hunts Actually, when I think about it, considering the moorage and maintenance dollars I spend every year on my 42 ft. boat - maybe I don't

Ann,
That sounds like a great hunt but I do have a question. How accurate is the statement that "most bears square 7.5 feet". That is a HUGE black bear! I know they can get that big and even bigger in that part of the world. Is that a true 7.5' square measurement?

David,

I just got done grilling the outfitter about the size as he was in town last week for the Outdoorama show here. These are massive bears. They eat what the brown bears eat, lots of fish and food is readily available all season for them so they are very big black bears.

I was shocked at how much bigger they are myself. I've not been to Alaska (not yet!) but have shot one bear before in Manitoba. These make my 300 pound bear look like a dwarf. There was a booth right next to ours from Quebec peddeling black bear hunts and his mounts looked like cubs next to these bears. A huge difference and I noticed the heads are much more massive on these coastal black bears too.

Juneau, I don't feel sorry for you with the boat payments . You all have way too much good hunting and fishing to be crabbing about it. Nope, no sympathy from me, uh huh, no way. But not to worry, retirement will put me up there to cash in too!
