Grizzly bears are abundant in the Talkeetna
Mountains of interior Alaska. Glassing valleys rich with blueberries and
migratory routes is a sure fire way to encounter these nomadic bears. We
hunt game unit 13, the only unit in Alaska that is open to grizzly bear
hunting year-round. However the best times for hunting are June, August
and September when the bears' hides are still at their prime. We do offer
a late July hunt for those wishing to hunt bears on or near and active
salmon stream. Our late July, early August hunt for 2005 lasted six hours,
resulting in a 7’9” boar being taken by lunchtime. 13 grizzlies were
sighted during the six hour hunt.
Colors
vary greatly from blonde to dark chocolate to silver and range in size
from 7’ to 9’+. Rifles in the .30 caliber range are best and the .338’s
are also very well suited for grizzly bear hunting. Be prepared for
hunting condition shots at less than 200 yards. We have hunts available
during May, June, July, August and September. Black bear can be
incidentally taken free of charge on any grizzly hunt and wolves are free
of charge for hunts that take place after August 10.
Hunting
is done on foot from a base camp. Each day will involve walking 3-6 miles
| "Jake and I planned a grizzly bear hunt on
short notice. His knowledge of his grizzly hunting areas is very good
and we were covered up in bears on Day 1 and I took my bear the same
day. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone considering a bear hunt."

and glassing from vantage points that offer
the best chance at locating bears. Hunters should be in decent physical
condition and be prepared to carry a small daypack of approximately 25lbs.
