They have an especially good sense of smell and under the right conditions may be able to detect odors more than a mile distant. Their hearing and eyesight are probably equivalent to that of humans.
Bears often stand upright to test the wind and to see better.
The hunt will begin in Juneau, Alaska where you will board one of our vessels or chartered floatplane and travel to a distant bay or inlet. You will spend your mornings and evenings in boats and skiffs glassing the beaches and bays looking for your trophy. Our spring hunts usually have the best weather, least amount of bugs, and highest bear count. If you prefer to hunt in the fall, we can usually fit you in, but be sure to book early as mountain goat, moose, and deer hunts occupy most of that time of the year. No matter which season you choose, there are always lots of bears to see and the trout fishing is excellent.
