Lost a Finger, Found a Brown Bear

I went on a brown bear hunt on the Alaska Peninsula with one of our clients to vet a new outfitter. It was just days after chopping off the end of my finger…. with a lawnmower. But that’s a different story.

Hunting the Alaska Peninsula

Brown bear hunting in Alaska on the Peninsula switches from a spring to a fall hunt every other year.

• Even numbered years are spring brown bear hunts and take place May 10-25.
• Odd number years are the fall brown bear hunts which take place October 1-20.

We would be hunting in May.

It was a tough, ten day grind of glassing from the exact same spot all day, every day… but on the tenth day they got it done on a monster bear.

Walking up to this giant was a humbling experience. Photos and videos just don’t do it any justice.
