Destination:
The Kodiak Island Archipelago is about 177 miles long and encompasses nearly 5,000 square miles. At 3,588 square miles, Kodiak Island is the largest in the group. Two-thirds of the island consists of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Close to 3,500 giant Kodiak brown bears make their home here, along with Sitka blacktail deer, fox, mountain goats, reindeer, Roosevelt elk, Steller sea lions, sea ducks, numerous whale species, salmon, crab and halibut.
Brown Bear Information:
Kodiak bears are the largest bears in the world. While they may grow to over 1,000 pounds, the average adult male weighs between 600-900 lbs.; females generally weigh about 30 percent less. Although Kodiak bears are often touted as the world’s largest carnivore, they are actually omnivores. Although fish is an important part of their diet, they eat more grass, plants and berries than meat and rarely expend the time or effort necessary to chase and kill animals.
The Hunt:
The hunt takes place on Kodiak Island and is accessible via a short remote flight. Our guides know the area well, with a vast knowledge of the hidden trail systems. The hunts take place on public and private land, including some of the best salmon streams and bear habitat on Kodiak. You will access the hunting camps via lots of hiking, so the better shape you are in the more enjoyable and successful your hunt will be. This area produces some of the largest taken in Kodiak and the state of Alaska each year. This is a draw tag, please apply with Registered guide Jeff Berg prior to the December 15th deadline.
