Spring – April 20-29 (10-day hunt)
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. For the serious adventurer, there is no better place.
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. 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, hunts will be conducted by use of 14 – 16 ft. skiffs as you cruise the shorelines glassing the mountain side 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 squaring between nine and 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 is sure nice to have to protect yourself from mother nature. Like any Alaskan adventure this can often be a physical hunt with challenging weather. Mental toughness and physical fitness is required. However, the reward is immense – possibly harvesting the most magnificent specie in North America.
Accommodations are double occupancy, comfortable staterooms making this brown bear hunt a much more comfortable environment than is typical. Furthermore, delicious meals are prepared daily by their seasoned chef – no Mountain House here!
