Alaska Coastal Guiding

AK Coastal Guiding offers both Brown and Black Bear hunts on the mainland coast and ABC islands of Southeast Alaska. The old growth rainforest and literally hundreds of natural salmon streams of the Tongass National Forest provide a rich diet for the largest concentration of Brown and Black Bears in North America. Brown Bears ranging between 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 feet are commonly taken, with an occasional larger one now and then, Black Bears average 7 to 7 1/2 and sometimes as much as 8 feet. Our success rate averages between 85% and 100% weather depending, which is why our hunts are so long as to ensure you the best opportunity at taking a trophy. All hunts are conducted aboard the 48 foot vessel “Sally Girl” where you will enjoy warm and comfortable bunks, hot showers, and excellent meals including seafood (halibut, salmon, crab) caught fresh during your trip. We will travel from one bay to another onboard the Sally Girl using her as both home base and spotting platform. Once we have reached our destination you and your guide will embark in your hunting skiff to explore hidden bays, sloughs, and estuaries or stalk up the many salmon streams in pursuit of your Bear. We pride ourselves in experience and local knowledge and are truly dedicated to working as hard as we can to make your hunt a successful one.
