What outfitter would you most recommend:

For a Nonresident who would like to go after a 10’+ Brown Bear? I’m assuming Kodiak, Unimak, or the AK peninsula.

10 ft brown bears are not as common as people think,your best bet would be on the peninsula,decades ago there were many more and could be found on kodiak and other areas.also this type of hunt would be fairly pricey dependent on who you book with.you can still find 10 footers on parts of kodiak but not to the level of the peninsula.believe me when i tell you any bear over 9 foot for myself is a shooter bear is hide is of good quality.phil shoemaker and his son and daughter are top shelf,henry tiffany,phil byrd,lance kronberger,cabot pitts have good areas.also mountain monarchs of alaska near cold bay.down there is also where henry tiffany is located,dave leonard is owner of mountain monarchs.below cold bay is near the izembek wildlife refuge.the further down the peninsula you go the closer to the aleutian islands.with ocean on either side there is good nutrition for these bears.anyway if it were me and finances were no issue i would hunt with phil and family,lance kronberger,

If you can draw an Unimak tag, get in touch with Rod Schuh if he's still doing those hunts.

Thanks. Rod is on my list as I hunted sheep with him years ago. I am
In Kodiak today headed back to ANC and plan to try to talk with him.

I would be talking to Phil Shoemaker for what you are looking for.

I've sent four friends to Phil Shoemaker in the past few years, and they all came away with nice bears

I appreciate all the responses and everyone who has replied with names and recommendations. Here is my condensed list at this point:

Matt Thoft- Peninsula
Lance Kronberger - Kodiak or Peninsula
Rod Schuh - Peninsula
Justin Dubay (if I Draw a Unimak tag)

I spoke with Phil and Taj who I think would be awesome, but Taj literally suggested I talk with Matt and Emily Thoft.

Other names that I think would be good are:
-Rob Jones - now has a concession and I hunted sheep with years ago when he and -Rod were partners.
Richard Guthrie, who I’m told has a great area.
-Phil Byrd
-Cabot Pitts

However, from my research, the names that rise to the very very top are the short list above.

Anyone have any specifics they’d shared about each of those?
