 Alaska is well known for its weather. Our areas are no exception; so remember when planning a hunt the weather rules supreme in the land of the big bear and Dall ram. When booking your hunt please be realistic with your time allowance. Consider such factors as the weather, your physical capabilities, and the difficulty of attaining the animals desired. Hunters tend to think in terms of ten day hunts, but consider if that is time enough. We tend to recommend hunts of a bit longer duration for a number of reasons; some of which we have covered. In addition, one must also remember that people living in the fast lane need time to slow down and begin to appreciate their surrounding. Sometimes by the time the phone stops ringing in your head it seems it is nearly time to go home.

 Fog on sheep hunts can eat up time and rain and snow can put bears into heavy timber. However, squalls don't last forever, so if you can allow five or ten additional days your chances for success are vastly improved. We truly believe we provide a bit more than just a hunting trip and we indeed appreciate the people that take the time necessary to enjoy our wilderness and honest fair chase hunts.

 You will find that our prices are quite competitive and when you couple that with our experience and determination to provide a quality experience for you it makes our hunts very special. As we try to tailor our hunts to your desires, we need to know what species you want to pursue, the best dates for you, and an honest evaluation of your physical capabilities. Once we have this information, we will put together your special hunt.

 We specialize in hunting Dall Sheep and the great Alaskan Brown Bear. The price will vary accordingly, so let us know what you want and we will quote a price. A 50% deposit to confirm all hunts is required. We also have a pre-payment plan available for those who wish to pay for their hunt, prior to their arrival. We're easy to work with. You are almost assured of seeing respectable trophies on any of our hunts.

 Sometimes we are difficult to contact because we're in our beloved mountains. Any correspondence should be answered within three weeks, but that's weather permitting! Please be patient.

We are looking forward with great anticipation to hunting with you and providing you with the very best Alaskan experience available.

 Alaskan Brown Bear Hunting Camps Guarantee

 Due to the adverse nature of Alaska, questionable capabilities of clients, and interference from Mr. Murphy- also guaranteed hunts are illegal in the State of Alaska- so we make no guarantees other than a great effort to provide successful hunts for all of our clients. Hunters should be prepared mentally, as well as physically and properly equipped. Alaskan weather can be very trying at times and our terrain may be difficult for some. Weather conditions have a great deal to do with game movements and good trophies are not usually found in easy terrain. Forgive us for rambling, we realize that most hunters understand what is needed on these types of hunts, but we find the some do not. We try for a complete and clear understanding between us and our clients. The only guarantee that we make is that we will provide you with a true Alaskan wilderness experience.

(Note: Our hunts in the Prince William Sound are within the Chugach National Forest, Under a special use permit issues by the US Forest Service. )
