How much are you willing to spend? A Kodiak bear hunt can be spendy and several years out. I know a great guide that does quite well. Not an easy hunt by any means but an awesome experience.

Not an easy hunt by any means but an awesome experience.Figured it would be spring of 2020 for the peninsula, before being able to book with a top outfitter. I'm guessing 30-35,000 for just the hunt, plus tags, flights, taxidermy... thinking it's a $40,000.00+ hunt when all said and done...
There are also some quality hunts in SE AK. Bruce Parker of Parker Guide Service (alaskaboathunts.com) has a good outfit and harvests some nice bears every year. Never hunted the Peninsula but know many that have. Lance Kronberger of Freelance Outdoor Adventures (https://freelanceoutdooradventures.com/) has a good outfit. Spring hunts are fun and hides are great if you get them early, before they start rubbing. There is typically a much larger area to hunt and boars are easier to spot. Fall hunts can be much more dramatic because you are relegated to hunting salmon streams with a higher concentration of bears. That can be good or bad... A lot of bears, but more animals to navigate through n you are more likely to harvest a sow in the fall. Hides can be scragglier in the fall depending on the time. Lots of options n $40k is probably about right to plan on.
