Description
The highlight of this hunting experience is that you are inside the living domain of the Glacier Bear. There is a very small topographical and ecosystem area where these unique and rare animals live. This hunt is a very rare opportunity and few people have the legal ability to hunt them through a National Forest concession. A 5/Day combination Glacier Bear Hunting trip is truly a hunt of a lifetime. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COLOR VAREATION IS EXTREEMLY RARE AND NOT ALL BEARS WILL LOOK THE SAME.

Description
The Glacier Blue Bear is one of the rarest types of bears on the planet, however, since they are technically classified as a subspecies of black bears, this outfitter is allowed to hunt them which are mainly found in parts of Southeast Alaska where they operate. The only estimate is the number of bears reported as killed by hunters, who have long sought the bears for their rare fur. According to Alaska’s Department of Fish and Game, 0.4% of all bears killed lawfully by hunters in Alaska are of the glacier variety. Glacier bears, also known as blue bears, are uncommon color variants of black bears (Ursus americanus) with fur that ranges from white to grey to black with silver-tipped guard hairs.
