This is an exceptional hunt. The SCI All Time World Record grizzly was taken in 2013, and since then record bears were taken in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Most people think Alaska when you mention brown bear hunting, but there is good hunting in Europe as well for the Eurasian brown bear. In Alaska, timing isn’t such a factor as you can hunt in the spring or the fall. We prefer the fall hunts in most circumstances, but the spring hunts are still great and we put hunters on trophy 9′ to 10′+ brown bears yearly.

Hunt Reports and Information:
The gear you take on a spring bear hunt is much different than what you’d take in the fall. The weather swings from pleasant to wind, rain, and even snow….all in one day.
If you stick to this brown bear hunting gear list, you’ll have everything you need on your hunt. If you’re on a guided hunt, your outfitter will provide a Satellite phone, or an Inreach for emergencies, and a first aid kit. Also, food, stove, fuel, water filters and tents will be provided on a guided hunt.
Hunt Brown and Black Bears over bait in Alaska!
Day 5 turned into a long day, but a successful one. We sat in the stand for about 7 hours, when a really nice grizzly came in….
I knew for a fact that at any moment I would either spot a huge lump of brown bear all piled up in the stream, or possibly a speeding mass of teeth and claws would explode out of the alders. I preferred the former.
Everyone knows they come from Kodiak Island in Alaska…right? Wrong! Most people are under that misconception, but the truth is this…
To qualify for the Super Slam of North American Big Game®, a hunter must have registered the legal taking of all 29 of the traditionally recognized species of big game animals native to North America.
On May, 2018 on the Alaska Peninsula, Chris Cammack, broke Jack Brittingham’s record for the world record brown bear taken with a bow. After a lengthy stalk on a brushy mountain side in the wind & rain Chris was blessed to arrow this amazing brown bear at just 14 yards.
More than 32,000 brown bears call Alaska home! Even though there are technically two subspecies in North America (the grizzly and the Kodiak), all brown bears in Alaska are genetically identical. The difference between Coastal and Grizzly Bears is geographical and diet.
Required 8 species taken from their native habitat. Rifle & Bow requirements are the same.
The brown bear hunt was quite an adventure all of the guides were very helpful and hardworking. They made it a great and successful experience.
The Outfitter was a wonderful to work with and met all of our needs.
We recently completed a survey asking hunters what their top five dream hunts would be. Some of their answers were… well, no brainers to be honest, but a few of them took us by surprise.
Let’s talk about the best calibers for brown bear, because you’re not going to find a guide who wants to follow a wounded brown bear into the bush.
Brown bears don’t like being surprised, so you need a solid game plan, the ability to move quietly and stealthily, and the fortitude to maintain your cool under stress.
This is an archery hunters dream to go on this hunt. I shot 3 Bears in one night. One Brown and two Black Bears. I then shot a third Black Bear on the last night.
Unbelievable one day hunt. I thank Mat Cervantes for putting me on another awesome European hunt. I’ve been on two European hunting trips with Outdoor International and have harvested 2 Gold and 2 Silver Medal animals.
