BROWN BEAR and GRIZZLY BEAR HUNTING - 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 over 10 foot squared. Grizzly Bear hunting can provide the ultimate hunting thrill and is normally conducted on the Salmon streams or berry patches in August and September. An excellent time to hunt Brown Bear is October and November on “The Lost Coast” around the Icy Bay area. For the most part, 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 north of the area this 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 4 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. Two Goat hunters were taken in 2009 on the west side of Icy Bay. Both harvested Mountain Goats that made 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.

DALL SHEEP – Alaska Hunting Specialists is offering a trophy Dall Sheep hunt in the Tok Management Area. These hunts require the hunter to draw a permit through the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. As most died in the wool Dall Sheep hunters know, there are some huge rams in this area. We have been hunting this area for a number of years with good success for trophy rams. If you are interested in this hunt, help can be provided in getting your name into the drawing.

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. In 2009 eight hunters harvested 8 trophy Black Bear. Seven Black Bear made the record book with 4 of the Black Bear measuring 7 foot square or over. The largest was 7 foot 6 inches.

DELUXE VESSEL BASED HUNTS - Your hunting home is an ocean going vessel. You can hunt Brown Bear, Black Bear, Mountain Goats, and large trophy Moose on the Coast where the genetics can produce some huge racks. There are six state rooms with bunks. Each state room has a private bathroom and shower. Enjoy hot and cold running water, toilets, and plenty of hot water for showers after an exhilarating day of hunting. The boat is operated by a captain licensed by the US Coast Guard and is outfitted with top of the line life saving and navigation equipment which is regularly inspected by the USCG. View dormant volcanoes, rugged coastlines, and majestic mountains that seem to drop magically into the ocean. Cruise past ancient glaciers as they crawl into the sea creating walls of ice that tower hundreds of feet into the air. Observe Humpback Whales, Orca Killer Whales, Stellar Sea Lions, Seals, Sea Otters, and hundreds of thousands of Sea Birds in their Rookeries. Or take a break from hunting and enjoy some fishing for Salmon or the monster Halibut that are often taken from the cold waters of Alaska. Feast like kings on meals such as New York Steaks and chops, barbequed chicken, crab and other fresh sea foods, vegetables and fruits, desserts, and plenty of snacks and beverages. The boat has a wide range and can cover a lot of hunting country. Depending on the animals being sought, your hunting area can include the Alaskan Peninsula, Prince William Sound, and “The Lost Coast” of Alaska from Valdez to Yakutat. You will be able to explore and enjoy guided Alaska hunting in places that are difficult for other hunters to reach.

This year two Special Hunts are being premiered on “The Lost Coast” of Alaska. The area is located about 65 miles northwest of Yakutat in Icy Bay. The First Hunt is a 5 day spring hunt for Coastal Black Bear. The majority of these Black Bear will make the record book. The Second Hunt is for Trophy Mountain Goat during October and November. The winter pelts will be magnificent with 8 inches of long white hair.
