Russ Meyer: Hosted Alaska Brown Bear Hunt Report

TRIP TAKEN: Baited Bear Hunt in Alaska
CONSULTANT/HOST: Russ Meyer, Outdoors International

June, 2018

Russ Meyer just returned from hosting an Alaska hunt with his client, Jared Griffith. They were there to vet a new outfitter and to hunt brown bears over bait. Russ chose to hunt with his recurve. They saw a ton of bears both black bears and brownies. You can read Jared’s hunt report here.

This baited bear hunt has an incredible success rate.

With near 100% for this Alaska combo bear hunt you can get the best of both worlds with Alaska black bears in all different color phases, and brown bears with chocolate to almost a white colored fur. The schedule is also what sets this hunt aside. Wake up late as you will be hunting almost until midnight most nights. After you wake up enjoy some Sockeye salmon fishing before you hit the stands for the rest of the day.

This is an amazing baited bear hunt in Alaska.

The outfitter says that this has been one of their most reliable experiences over the last five years. All hunters that went for brown bear and black bear had shots! All hunters that wanted to harvest a black bear had the opportunity to harvest last year. Among those bears were several beautiful color-phase bears. This outfitter had about 30 baits and about 200 black bears and 80 brown bears that were visiting these baits.

• Hunt brown bear AND black bear over bait.
• Success rates for brown bears are very high, with most hunters getting shot opportunities.
• Success for black bears has been 100% opportunity!
• Brown bears can square up to 9 feet with skulls that measure 26″ but 7-8 ft is average.
• Hunts are for 10 days with the 11th day saved for travel out of the cabin.
• Enjoy fishing for Sockeye Salmon during the day.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
