Hunt each of these Alaska Big Game Animals on private land where no other hunters are permitted. Hunt along more than 70 miles of coast line, on over 150,000 thousand acres, with an outfitter that has the exclusive hunting lease. The property fronts the ocean and backs up against the Wrangell Saint Elias National Park. This is incredible Alaska Big Game hunting country where you can book an Alaska hunt exclusively for you and your friends.

BROWN BEAR – The giant Alaska Brown Bear is the only Alaska trophy that world renowned hunters include on their list of the “World’s Top 10 Trophies”. On “The Lost Coast” there is an abundance of food in the form of succulent plants, a wide variety of berries, and huge runs of Salmon that return to the rivers and streams to spawn in the summer and fall. As a result our Brown Bear get a lot of protein and can reach sizes of 10 foot squared. The best time to hunt Brown Bear is during September when the large runs of Silver Salmon return to the rivers and streams around Icy Bay. October and November is also good because the fishermen have left the rivers. As a result, the airplane traffic is down and the area has quieted. This is the time when the big Brown Bear move about more freely and begin to gorge themselves on the remaining Salmon to get ready for hibernation that begins in late November and December.

ALASKA PENINSULA BROWN BEAR – Brown Bear hunting is conducted on the Alaska Peninsula during even numbered years in the spring and during odd numbered years in the fall. The season lasts three weeks each year and hunters are not required to draw for permits as they are for the Kodiak Island hunt. For the discriminating hunter that wants a realistic chance for a 10 foot Brown Bear, the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island are the only places in the world where this is likely. To put one of these monster Brown Bear on the ground is an awesome experience.

ALASKA/YUKON MOOSE – Alaska Moose hunting on “The Lost Coast” of southeastern Alaska is a great experience. The hunts are conducted on private land on both sides of Icy Bay. The hunting is conducted on over 70 miles of coast line on an exclusive hunting lease where resident hunters are not allowed. The property fronts the ocean and is bounded in the back by the Wrangell Saint Elias National Park. This is perhaps the only privately managed Alaska/Yukon Moose herd in the world. The genetics from Yakutat to Cordova are some of the best in the world. The bulls can produce some huge racks that measure over 70 inches. One was taken on the property several years ago that measured 73 ½ inches and another produced last year that measured 72 inches. At this time the herd is being strictly managed to increase the trophy quality and the seasonal kill is limited to 6 trophy bulls.

MOUNTAIN GOAT – Pursue the elusive pure white Mountain Goat that inhabits the foot hills of the Saint Elias Mountains of Alaska. Hunt them in October and November when their winter hair is eight inches long and they are migrating down from their lofty peaks to lower levels after the first snow fall. Mountain Goat Hunting is done on private property and only a few Goats have been taken over the last 10 years. As a result these Mountain Goats will often make the record book. This private property backs up against the Wrangell Saint Elias National Park which is an ideal situation for producing big Mountain Goats.

COASTAL BLACK BEAR – Enjoy an easy hunt in the Spring for the monster Coastal Black Bear that can be found along the shoreline coves and meadows filling themselves with beach grass. Black Bear hunting can also be done on stands where we pattern the Black Bear and can select the larger record book boars. These are spectacular Coastal Black Bear that can measure to an awesome 8 foot square. Since beginning the hunting operation, on the private property in Icy Bay, the success rate has been 100% on spring hunts. During the 2010 season the average Black Bear measured slightly over 7 foot squared. Several were over 575 pounds.
