Nothing but good things to say about Alaska Private Guide Service and Smokey Don Duncan. His black bear camp is awesome and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone interested in a quality black bear hunt. I do not intend to defend the hunting way of life that many of us believe in however I will say that if you have considered a quality bear hunt GO ON THIS HUNT!!! His trophy moose and brown bear hunts are fabulous as well! Thank you Smokey and keep up the good work! JJS
I see what you mean, and I understand about the wolves returning somewhat successfully to the Rockies, but I still don’t think hunting helped any of those problems. I think they’ve done best when just left alone. Overhunting and poisoning (by our government, I might add) is why they were wiped out of our country in the first place. So you can see why my faith in gov’t management is dubious at best.
Anyway I still stand by my original comment.
Ok, are you old enough to remember when “management” did not set a limit by species, because there was not “management” in place to do it? You either had too many animals of a given species that died of starvation or over hunted species. Remember the wolves of the Rockies? Gone because they were not managed. Now reintroduced to the point that there is most likely going to be a ‘season’ on their heads since the “management” solution was so successful.
Fair enough. But I do understand the game laws, and how those fees help “wildlife management” . I hear hunters defend their killing by that old excuse all the time. But do they really care? Would you stop hunting if the U.S. stopped using your fees that way? Somehow I doubt it.
If you REALLY cared about wildlife, you would donate that license money to help bears and other wildlife WITHOUT going out to kill them.
I guess you just don’t understand the game laws in the US. Hunting fees are the main source of funding for wildlife management in most states.
Trophy “hunters” are exactly like those stupid, mean little boys who, when they see an animal, instead of just enjoying the natural beauty of the creature, can think of only one thinog to do: KILL it!
Guys, please. Grow up and join the adults. Quell your adolescent reflex to shoot whatever you see. Go enjoy wildlife, certainly, but take photos! Watch them! Anything but blow their brains out.
Do the decent thing. Put your guns away and stop killing what’s left of our wildlife.
Oh yes, if if doesn’t work, you may read
“A local hunter was found 25 miles North East of North Bay this morning, severely mauled by a black bear. Remnants of dog food were found stuffed in his mouth. A Game Warden was able to arrive before the poor man expired, and apparenlty, the fellow was delerious from the extent of his injuries. According to the Warden, all the poor fellow fellow was heard saying shortly before he expired was, “hootie hoo, Hootie Hoo, HOOTIE HOO!”
I gotta say, I’ve seen this a few times, and I LAUGH MY MUTHERFRIGGIN GUTS OUT EVERY TIME! Hilarious, you guys should make a movie. The bears are funny looking too.
I am going on a black bear hunt in Northern Ontario in a few weeks. I will definitely try the ‘Hootie Hoo’ technique to get nice and close.
i prefer a .338 with 250gr for bears. for blackies you could easily get away with a 30-06, dropped a few with my old one.
You make a very interesting observation in that you live in Alaska! My clients do not live here, do not know where to go, and any number of other challenges non-residents would face. The other issue is, how many non-resident hunters can go in a specific time period and find a bear to shoot without some guide effort? Would you incur the expense of coming to Alaska, deal with all the permitting issues for non-residents and the logistics of getting to the bear without seeking some help?
I’ve been living and hunting in Alaska for 15 years and I’ll say this. Killing bears anywhere on the Alaska or Kenai Peninsula is a very easy thing to do. Give any guide a few beers and they’ll agree. The myth of big, fierce bears being hard to hunt and kill comes from the hunting industry. It’s not much of a hunt when bears are so tolerant–much like shooting cattle in a pen, an unarguable point. It’s not that hard to kill a bear. It’s what I’ve always called the ‘dirty little secret’.
I haven’t finished watching yet, but the old bear I shot was delicious! Crock pot, vegetable broth, all day, ooo boy really great!
that bear didn’t give a shit lol
Fabulous video, just what I need I/m looking for a hunting trip for my husband and twin boys who will be 16 next spring.
Ok, im planning on hunting in alaska with a center-fire rifle, and i was planning on using a moisan nagant wich is a .30 cal, but i’ve been looking all over for regulations on calibers, and i wanted to know if you knew the smallest size you could use for bears in alaska.
what cal is your bear rifle?
