The Area

Our exclusive bear hunting area is approximately 550 square miles in size, over 352,000 acres.

The area includes over 100 miles of coastline on the Pacific coast, across from Kodiak Island, 19 salmon streams, and the Dog Salmon River, on which our lodge is located.

The area supports an excellent bear population, with one of the highest cub survival rates

anywhere in Alaska. This is due from harvesting a high percentage of large boars. Large boars

kill and eat many cubs (53% statewide), before they reach 3 years old.

The area is so large that we utilize up to 12 spike camp locations to put you within walking

distance of the best hunting areas. These spike camps are accessed by super cub or riverboat,

and are located near good vantage points, where you will be able to glass valleys, streams and hillsides.

How to Get There

Fly directly from your home to Anchorage on the airlines of your choice. Here you will spend

the night and the next morning fly to Pilot Point, on Lake Clark Airlines. You will be met at Pilot Point, and flown to our Dog Salmon River Lodge by chartering our designated flying service. You are responsible for this charter cost from

Pilot Point to the Lodge, which is $600.00 roundtrip.

The point of outfitting is when you arrive at the Lodge.

Bow Hunting for Brown Bears

Chuck Adams was our first bow hunter, who took the largest bodied

Brown Bear (1400#) ever taken by a bow hunter.

In 2019 we took a 10'6" brown bear at 7 yards, with a 28 3/16" skull.

Since 1989 our bow hunting clients have taken

39 fall bears with a bow, on the Alaska Peninsula. Four of these bow hunts were filmed and are available on our videos. Many of these bears have made the top 20 in P&Y.

I only take 5 bow hunters for bear each fall season, and we only have a fall season on the odd numbered years.
