Hunting in Alaska

[JHR1985]

Are there any over the counter tags in Alaska?

I got about 3 weeks off from the fire department in October and was wondering if there are any over the counter tags like there are in Colorado or is it all draw?

are guides required to hunt bear?

Im in the mood to shoot a black bear.

Any idea on the costs to process and what not?

And where is a good area to go?

I'm not looking for trophy size... just a decent bear i can shoot for the roast and fur

sorry if i ask too many questions

Yah its doable!

I have hunted POW (Prince of Whales) island the last 4 years. This is across from Ketchikan. Big black bears and you can bait them. We have stayed at Coffman Cove and Thorne Bay. We had a guy drive to Bellinhame WA and take ferry with all gear, but that cost a lot. This year we also rented a truck for $500/week.
This year no big bears. No guide required. Email me if you have more ?'s. [email protected]
