Alaska brown bear hunting is a sport enjoyed by both Alaska residents and tourists. Spring and fall are the seasons for Alaska brown bear hunting. Guides will show you the proper way to hunt--fair chase. This means that the animal is hunted in a lawful manner as stated under Alaska regulations. Most important, the bears should not be harassed or hunted from any motorized vehicle.

Most Alaska tour guides that incorporate big game hunting, will furnish the camps and food into their guide service. Guides will also provide first aid and signal kits. Hunters are responsible for bringing their own rifles, ammunition, personal toiletries, and clothing. Additionally, don't forget to bring your sleeping bag, sunglasses, and a good pair of binoculars! Bring clothes that you can easily layer, and warm, waterproof outerwear. Spring and fall weather in Alaska is very unpredictable. It can be freezing one day, and 55 degrees the next.
