This is a unique new opportunity made possible by a regulation change in 2013. This is the first time in history that non-residents will be allowed to hunt brown bears over bait. Our 2014 Grizzly hunters that booked full ten day hunts went 6 for 7, including 3 archery bears, (the unsuccessful hunter had opportunities).

This is a bow-hunter's dream! They have hunted this area for over ten years and have always been frustrated by brown bears that take over the black bear baits making black bear hunting difficult. They have been a menace and there is an abundance of them. These are considered costal brown bears by B&C but do not grow quite to the size of those closer to the coast. They are considered Grizzlies by SCI and present a fantastic opportunity to take a very large SCI trophy. These bears top out at about 9 feet and 26" skulls with 7-8 foot bears very common. Our brown bears in this area are normally spectacularly furred in the spring and range in color from chocolate to almost white. 

Black bears are also abundant on this hunt and all color phases are present. Approximately 50% of our black bears are jet black, the rest are various shades of brown. We expect 100% of the hunters to see brown bears on bait, the rest depends on the hunter. Black bear success rates have been 100% for the last five years (you may take up to three bears). Hunting areas will be accessed by highway vehicle, ATV and Jet Boat. You will hunt ten full days and leave the morning of the 11th day. Your daily schedule will consist of sleeping in late, a light breakfast, fishing, lunch, baiting stands. Hunting starts at about 5:00PM daily, expect late nights, well after midnight. The Copper River is known for its salmon runs and you are welcome to catch sockeyes just a few steps from your cabin. Meals will be hearty, sometimes gourmet. Accommodations will be simple, small cabins located just feet from the Klutina River.
