What To Do Before Going On Grizzly Hunts

By Allyson Hellwig


Hunting is an activity that many want to try. Different animals are hunted, from deer to bears. Those who are interested in experiencing the thrill of hunting a bear can go on grizzly hunts in Alaska. With the help of an experienced guide, you can be in their natural habitat and get a shot at hunting them.

Careful preparation is necessary before you go on such a trip. One of the things you will have to determine would be the sites where these bears are usually found and the months when they can be found in great numbers. Note that an application has to be submitted for the hunting.

Your body also has to be prepared for all the conditions you will be encountering. You may have to walk for hours, be exposed to the cold, all the while carrying supplies and equipment. If you are not physically fit, you will damage your chances of getting a trophy.

Then, you will also have to find a skilled Alaska hunting guide. The choice should be made with care since this is the person who will be with you throughout the trip. His familiarity with the region and the animals in it will go a long way to helping you. As an experienced guide, he will also be knowledgeable about local hunting regulations.

With the expertise he can offer, your choice of a guide is crucial. He should be someone licensed and preferably highly experienced. Take the time to verify the status of a prospect. It is also best if you contact several qualified prospects so you can compare their expertise and their rates.

Consider what is included in the rates you will be paying. Ask questions about the items that will be provided on the trip so you can bring the appropriate supplies for yourself. Discuss how the food will be provided, what accommodations are available and if there is any equipment included. These outfitters may also help you make arrangements for transporting your trophy.

The evaluation will be incomplete if you do not get the opinion of other people. Ask your prospective guide to provide you with some references. Contact these parties and have a detailed discussion on various aspects of the trip. If they are reasonably satisfied and are willing to use the same guide again, then you might have found the person to assist you.

Whether you are going on grizzly hunts in Alaska or paying for Alaska caribou hunting, there is still a need to familiarize yourself with the habits of the animal you are hunting. Read those reference materials and go over online sources. This will help you get ready for hunting those bears.
