Description

Master Guide has been delivering successful Trophy Brown Bear hunts on Kodiak Island for over 40 years. You will be rewarded for hard days of hunting with spike camp and rustic cabin accommodations. 10 day hunts with no surprise costs. Apply in December for Spring hunts, May for fall hunts. Hunter will be able to take a Sitka blacktail with no trophy fee if a nice buck is seen. Once hunters arrive in Alaska, they will be put up in a privately owned lodge, where they will be provided with a hot meal and shown to one of the multiple guest cabins to store personal items. All gear, fire rifles if necessary, and ensure all paperwork, licenses, tags, etc. will be organized before heading into the field to begin the hunt. Depending on weather conditions and arrival times, hunters may then depart directly to spike camp, or spend the night at the lodge.nSpike camps consist of high quality tents known as “Bomb Shelters” designed specifically for use in Alaska’s harsh weather conditions. These tents are equipped with cots, propane cookware/heaters, and plenty of food and fuel for the hunt. Hunters should bring their own sleeping bag and pad, synthetic sleeping bags are recommended. Rafts are available for use, and depending on the hunt location and weather conditions at the time of the hunt, as well as hunter preference, a float style hunt can be conducted. Backpack style hunts are also an option, depending on hunter preference and fitness level. Hunters should pack minimal gear and plan to carry all personal items, clothing, and hunting gear. Spike camps will be in place and attended before the hunters arrive at base camp. Hunters will be loaded into light aircraft and flown to the hunting location, which may be anywhere from a 15 minute to a one hour flight away. Any special needs or dietary considerations should be arranged with the outfitter prior to the hunt to ensure a comfortable camp experience. All guides will be equipped with a satellite telephone or comparable communication equipment, and assistance is always a phone call away. Once an animal is harvested, the guide will notify the camp staff to retrieve the animal as soon as possible. Safety is always this outfitters first priority, and inclement weather can cause delays in small aircraft flights, but the guides will be available for assistance with an aircraft standing by at all times during the hunt.
