2026 Grizzly/ Brown Bear hunt….who's going?

[TXHunt]

Thought it might be cool to start a thread on who all is going to be hunting grizzlies or Brown bears this year. If you are, where are you going, when, and what will you be shooting (bow, rifle)?

I am headed to Alaska unit 9 the penninula in May. I will be the second hunter of the spring season, my guide has me getting into Illiamna a few days early as he anticipates the first hunter will tag out early and then I will head out as soon as he does, or his 10 days is up. I am taking my ol trusty 300 PRC with 200 grain Accubonds.

like every year yukon as a local and rifle 9.3x62 ...hard to think it is opening in 3 weeks with the cold nights we still have and the snow cover but it is coming ....

I head out for coastal browns first of May for Yakutat in Southeast Alaska. Will be my 4th hunt trying to kill a beast with the bow. Hunted the peninsula once and then Kodiak twice prior with no luck, so looking to break my brown bear curse!

I have a ticket and tag in my pocket just in case a brownie comes across me on my property or abroad. I loath skinning and transporting a bear just to turn in to ADFG on a DLP.

Well you know I will be. I hope I get to let you come in early after I get a big ol bruin! I hope to have our spot scoped out for you. I'll be carrying my 300 win mag. Maybe we can write up a combined report here on Rokslide after we are done. Good Luck!
