Alaska Brown Bear Hunt on Afognak Island

This isn’t a traditional Alaska brown bear hunting trip where you spend every day glassing.

Afognak Island is a small land mass about 20 miles long and 40 miles wide off the coast of Alaska in the Kodiak Archipelago. There are fewer than 100 permanent residents, most of whom work at a state-run salmon hatchery. There are no bars or shopping malls on Afognak, but there is a large population of Kodiak brown bears and a few healthy herds of Roosevelt elk. There aren’t many reasons to visit this place and even fewer motivations for someone to take up residence on the island. That’s what makes Afognak Island brown bear hunting so incredible.

This lodge-based brown bear hunt on Afognak Island is about as good as it gets.
