Knowing where the bears are located is essential to a successful Alaska bear hunting trip. Brown bears are found along the Alaskan coast, and grizzly bears are found inland.

You can either bear hunt in the spring or fall. Both seasons can provide a joyful experience!

Bear Hunting Tips From A Pro
In Alaska, you are required to hunt with a certified guide if you are a nonresident. Guides typically will bring most of the essential camping equipment, including a first aid kit and a signal kit. You should ask if they will provide the food as well. Usually, you are responsible for your own hunting equipment and personal clothing and hygiene items, such as sunscreen and toothpaste. Also, don't skimp on a good sleeping bag--it gets cold at night! If you are unsure what to bring on the trip, just ask. These guides are certified and have been hunting in Alaska for many years and can 'guide' you through the entire planning process as well as the hunt!

You can also gather many bear hunting tips from a hunting education class. These classes will teach you how to hunt safely and effectively. They are offered throughout the United States, and benefit both the novice and seasoned hunter. Once you've been on your Alaskan bear hunting trip, you'll be sure to have many of your own tips to share!
