Kodiak Brown Bear On Afognak Island

Afognak is an island in the Kodiak Archipelago and is a world-class location to pursue one of the most magnificent creatures to roam the Earth: the Kodiak brown bear!

Afognak, comprised of mountains, grasslands, dense spruce forest, combined with the many lakes and streams feeding into the Pacific, is also home to Sitka blacktail, Roosevelt elk, and a diverse array of fish, whales, and other sea life. There is no better place for the serious adventurer.

This hunt for trophy brown bear is conducted from a 64-foot yacht with one of the most seasoned and respected captains/outfitters in the business. Or you can choose comfortable tent camps on shore and newly-built 39-foot landing craft for transportation. Also, a large majority of the hunt area consists of native corporation land, further improving the quality of this brown bear hunt.

In conjunction with the big boat or landing craft, hunts will be conducted using 14–16-foot skiffs as you cruise the shorelines glassing the mountainside and the tidal flats until a mature bear is spotted. This is a hunt for some of the largest brown bears in the world. Bears scoring between 9–10 feet are the target. On a good day, it is not uncommon to glass multiple bears right from the yacht. On a bad day, the yacht or tent camp is nice to have, to protect yourself from Mother Nature. Like any Alaskan adventure, this can often be a physical hunt with challenging weather. Both mental and physical fitness are required. However, the reward is immense, possibly harvesting the most magnificent species in North America.

Accommodations on the big boat are double occupancy, comfortable staterooms making this brown bear hunt more comfortable than is typical. Furthermore, delicious meals are prepared daily by their seasoned chef—no Mountain House meals here!
