    Thanks. It's a great experience to get clear of the timber and into the alpine. Make the trip. It's worth it.

    Hunting Black Bears in Southeast Alaska, By Jeff Lund

    Excellent point. Survival instincts drive everything. Thinking in those terms helps us as hunters. There is always a difference between where we'd like to find a bear or deer, and where we're most likely to find a bear or deer. Easy and convenient for us usually isn't safe and secure for them.

    Hunting Black Bears in Southeast Alaska, By Jeff Lund

    It's a pretty special place, but the winters are pretty brutal. Nowhere to drive. Cold. Dark. Rainy. Nice work on the bears. Seems to be a lot of hunting pressure, yet the population is in good shape.

    2022 Southeast Alaska Spring Bear

    Bears are showing up around here. First green shoots are coming up on the beaches and skunk cabbage is poking through. Still a little cool so we haven't yet had the explosion of growth in the southern Southeast Alaska area.

    2022 Southeast Alaska Spring Bear

    Oh it's getting close. The last 3-4 years there has been a massive snow in mid-March to delay the budding shoots of grass and skunk cabbage. Been snowing a little high on the mountains, but sea level has been clear for a few weeks. Looks like we might have some green start popping and not be...
