Our Grizzly Bear and Black Bear Hunts have been a tradition with Pioneer Outfitters since 1924. We have one of the only areas in Alaska that a Grizzly Bear may be taken every year instead of one every four years. With an area of 55 by 65 miles, our Bear population supports this harvest. Our Grizzlies never leave the Chisana Valley ~ they are true Mountain Grizzlies.  The cold breeze that is always blowing off the glacier ice makes the Grizzly's coats prime, thick and silky.

Good binoculars and patience is what it takes to be a good Grizzly Bear hunter. You must be willing to sit and glass and let the bears do the moving. One more good point, you do not need hip boots here, in Chisana!

A big Grizzly is 8.5 foot, 7 foot to 8 foot is a good possibility, with every color phase known available some years. During our Fall Grizzly Bear Hunt, Black Bear may also be taken at no additional fee to your hunt.
