In 2005 Freelance Outdoor Adventures
acquired a Grizzly Bear area in Northwest Alaska. Since then
we have been very successful in both our Spring and Fall hunts.
Spring Griz Hunt: These hunts are done in
a backpack manner with us flying into remote ridge tops
and then spiking out from there searching for the best bear
we can find. The country is very open which lends us to
do lots of glassing, sometimes at very far distances. This
is the mating time for the bears and once a boar and sow
are paired up they tend not to roam around a lot. Because
of this mating behavior it allows us to glass bears on far
ridges and still have enough time to close the distance.
These hunts can be very physical and hunters will be required
to carry 40lbs. plus their gun while hunting, and their
pack will be even heavier once a bear is killed.
Fall Griz Hunt:
These hunts take place during the first half of Sept. At
this time the Griz have pretty much pulled off the Salmon
and are in the berry patches on the open side hills. We
fly into remote gravel bars or ridge tops where we make
our way down the river with a rubber raft. Early in the
hunt the hunters may have to walk the riverbanks as we drag
the raft through many shallow spots until we pick up enough
water to float the river. While we walk the banks all our
gear is in the rafts making traveling a lot less physical,
with the hunter only having to carry his gun. We will do
a lot of glassing from the river along with doing some side
hikes up on open ridges. We camp along the river each night
and the amount of gear that the hunter will carry during
the hunt is much less than during the spring hunts.
